ABOUT FORREST L.
I am a queer, neurodivergent media professional and community organizer transitioning to library & information science, with a deep commitment to disability access, LGBTQ+ equity storytelling, and inclusive information systems. Over the past decade, I\'ve organized complex digital assets, applied metadata standards, and managed QC workflows for award-winning documentary projects, including The Social Dilemma (2× Emmy Winner) and the Chasing Coral impact campaign. I\'ve worked across social impact, climate justice, outdoor industry, and B2B health media working directly with production companies and their clients including Arc\'teryx, The North Face, Hoka, and Outside Magazine — taking on roles as production coordinator, sound designer, lead editor, and digital asset specialist. I\'m currently serving as Internship Program Lead for Let\'s Go Birding at Environment for the Americas, a conservation initiative expanding access to outdoor spaces for people with disabilities and underrepresented communities. This role brings together my background in conservation media, community organizing, and disability access into something that feels like a natural convergence. I\'m an incoming MLIS candidate at the University of Washington iSchool (Autumn 2026), focusing on neurodivergent accessibility in data curation and information systems design. I\'m looking for opportunities in library and information science, digital preservation, and community-centered access work — stable, meaningful, and built to last.
