lead researchers

I’m Amy Hequembourg, an Associate Professor at the University at Buffalo and a lead researcher on the TBH Study. In my spare time, I spend time with my two cats and my two huge, furry, slobbery dogs. I also enjoy gardening, playing cornhole in my driveway, hanging out with my friends, and cooking with my partner, Merle.

I’m Jennifer Livingston, an Associate Professor and a lead researcher on the TBH Project. I am really excited about the opportunity to learn more about the life experiences of LGBTQ+ adolescents and their sources of strength, so that we can use this information to make a better future. I am also mom to 2 kids, 4 cats and 2 dogs!
