A year later, he officially joined the GLSEN Research Institute Team on staff to help put LGBTQ-focused education research into the hands of advocates around the country. While in school, Adrian was also fortunate enough to intern as GLSEN’s 2016 Summer Research Fellow. He left the museum world to obtain a Master in Public Health degree at NYU, where his research focused on sexual health, substance use, and queer identity development. Adrian's introduction to GLSEN began when working in a South Carolina children's museum, where he used GLSEN's school climate research to demonstrate the need for LGBTQ-affirming museum programming, policies, and practices.
