Nahrie also organized a storytelling practice in her senior year, FRED Talks, in which students and alumni shared about how their faith informed their fields of study/work with the broader University community (Faith, Responsibility, Entrepreneurship, and Devotion). After graduating, Nahrie continued to feel called to Princeton and served as a ministry fellow with Manna for two years. Now in her final years of a PhD in social/environmental psychology, she spends most of her time thinking about and researching food ethics and farming, how to restore our connection to the land, and what it means to live and eat regeneratively.
