Sophia Retchin is the first student on the podcast. She tells how she was able to intern at multiple alternative protein companies and organizations during her studies including Improved Nature, The Good Food Institute, Aleph Farms, Peace of Meat, and MeaTech. She also started the Chapel Hill Alt. Protein Project. Her advice is to reach out to different organizations in this field and offer to do volunteer work or a side project for them as well as express your passion.
