She graduated with a B.A. from the College Scholars program at the University of Tennessee before going on to earn an M.Div. from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC, and an M.A. in Hebrew Bible from Vanderbilt. Stephanie completed her Ph.D. in Biblical Interpretation at Brite Divinity School, Texas Christian University, in May 2016. Throughout her educational career, Stephanie has been active in various academic and ministry contexts, both as a professional and as a volunteer. For example, she worked as a program specialist for Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) at Syracuse University, a Periodicals Assistant at Vanderbilt Divinity School Library, a Volunteer Services Intern at Wake Forest University, and an Associate Intern in the Baptist Student Union at Virginia Tech University, among other roles.
Stephanie has also taught introductory Bible courses through a lay studies education program.
Stephanie cares deeply about Christian education and spiritual formation. She loves sharing stories of the Bible and coming up with creative ways for children of all ages to understand how their stories intersect with God’s story. Stephanie finds deep meaning in the liturgical year and how both the major (Christmas, Easter) and minor celebrations (Candlemas, Mary Magdalene’s Feast Day) help Christians make meaning throughout the seasons.
Stephanie is married to Adam DJ Brett with whom she loves trying new restaurants, traveling (particularly to Cape Cod), and entertaining their niece and nephew. In her free time, Stephanie enjoys paper crafting, visiting museums, watching period dramas, and prowling through thrift shops and flea markets.
