Forrest comes from Indianapolis, Indiana and received his undergraduate degree from Indiana University. After graduating, he decided to teach English in Spain for three years. His students were really interested in the environment, which helped spur his journey into the environmental sphere. He returned to Indiana University where he received his Master of Public Affairs and Master of Science in Environmental Science degree. He has previous internship experience with SEIA in 2021 and at FERC in 2022, as well as working with Indiana University’s Energy Justice Laboratory.
Outside of work, Forrest likes to explore DC in search of the best cup of coffee the city has to offer, as well as play basketball (poorly) and cook new recipes.
