Simone Buttler serves as administrative assistant for the Church State Council, where she supports the Council’s legal and educational work, as well as its Public Affairs and Religious Liberty (PARL) Ministry. She considers it a great privilege to be part of an organization dedicated to defending freedom of conscience, protecting religious liberty for people of all faiths, and preserving the separation of church and state.
Buttler earned her law degree from the University of Santo Amaro in São Paulo, Brazil, in 2000. After successfully passing the Brazilian Bar Examination, she worked as an attorney in Brazil for five years before moving to the United States in 2005. She earned a Master of Business Administration from Southwestern Adventist University in 2008, and in 2025, she joined the Church State Council, completing Legal Assistant Certification through the Beverly Hills Bar Association later that year.
Her background in law, business administration, and Adventist ministry has strengthened Buttler’s commitment to service and advocacy and has deepened her appreciation for the importance of protecting religious freedom.
