Stephanie Edwards
Executive Director
Stephanie originally hails from near Portland, Oregon and now makes her home near Portland, Maine. After her undergraduate studies at Santa Clara University (2007), Stephanie spent a formative year as a Jesuit Volunteer in post-Katrina New Orleans. She holds a PhD in Theological Ethics from Boston College (2019), where her interdisciplinary research focused on the ties between Christian theology and trauma, particularly in the case of pharmaceutical memory modification. Stephanie's interest in such work has its roots in her "other" career as a social worker (MTS/MSW, Boston University 2011), wherein she has practiced diverse service delivery, grant writing, and non-profit management for nearly a decade. Stephanie is excited to bring both her non-profit and theological expertise to the BTI. She lives in Biddeford, Maine with her husband and rescue dog, EmmyLou.

Chloe McLaughlin
Internal Projects Manager- Graduate Assistant
Chloe moved to Boston in 2019 from Frankfort, Indiana to begin her Master of Divinity degree at Boston University School of Theology in 2019. She recieved her undergraduate degree in Christian Worship and Humanities from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2016. After 3 years in ministry as a Youth and Worship director, Chloe decided it was time to go back to school because, to be honest, she missed writing papers. Her interests are in Religion and Conflict Transformation, Interfaith Dialogue, and Leadership Philosophy. Her main roles at the BTI are creating newsletters and maintaining the website. She is excited to be a part of this learning community and hopes to have the opportunity to network with many aspiring theological thinkers. Chloe lives in Brighton with her 6-year-old corgi mix, Charlie.
