Forrest Templin
FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE
Forrest Templin (He/Him) I am outdoorsman, storyteller, and educator with a focus in creating curiosity and human connection. Western Washington University graduate, Class of 2025, Marketing & Leadership, Morse Institute. I originally chose WWU because it offered the ultimate mix of classroom learning and mountain air. Outside of courses, I was usually to be found putting out posters for music festivals, chasing sunsets on a mountain bike, or skiing Mount Baker, sometimes all in the same week. These days, I swapped the world of marketing for the classroom at Meadows Montessori School, where I work as an elementary teacher to encourage students to explore, wonder, and lead with heart. I believe the right way to grow - personal and communal - starts when we feel safe enough to play, connect, and create.
