Julia Nelson (she/her/hers) joins the OFRF team as the Summer 2024 Policy & Advocacy Intern. Julia is a current MS student at the Tufts Friedman School of Nutrition Science & Policy, studying Agriculture, Food, and the Environment.

Following that experience, she served as the Gleaning & Local Procurement Coordinator for an anti-hunger organization, facilitating the rescue and purchase, as well as the processing and distribution, of (literal) tons of local produce for food access programming. After completing her graduate studies, she hopes to work on food & agriculture policy and is specifically interested in regional food supply chains, values-based procurement, and the intersections between nutrition and sustainability.
