Stefanie was born in Atlanta, GA, the second of four children, to Eveline Butler, a homemaker, and Brett Butler, a professional baseball player. She is of English, Irish, Italian & Icelandic descent and grew up bi-coastal between Atlanta, GA and Los Angeles, CA most of her life.

From an early age, Stefanie developed a keen interest in observing and understanding people, which naturally led her to become an actor. She went on to receive an acting scholarship to Pepperdine University, where she was renowned for her work on the stage, and upon graduation, immediately began her film and television career starring opposite Armie Hammer and Kristoffer Polaha in the Billy Graham biopic, Billy: The Early Years.

Stefanie has over fifty credits to her name. In 2015, Stefanie was thrilled to join the cast of the much anticipated Netflix series, Stranger Things for season one. She has also guest starred on CSI:NY, Shark, Rizzoli & Isles, Frank Darabont’s Mob City, and most recently was seen on Will Trent. Her commercial work is extensive and includes over thirty national campaigns, while her film work includes the independent films Car Dogs, starring George Lopez, Patrick Adams & Octavia Spencer, Same - which she wrote, starred in and took home 2nd place for best short film at the Christian Worldview Film Festival, and Zula the Infinite, which was an official selection of the LA Shorts Fest and received the Award of Excellence at Indiefest Film Awards. Stefanie can also be seen in the films Guest of Honor (shot entirely in German), Legend of Five Mile Cave, Long Roads, There Comes A Knocking (in collaboration with Film Riot), and USS Christmas which aired on the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries channel.

In 2023, Stefanie completed production on her short film, A Chance Encounter, which she wrote, directed, and produced. It had its world premier at the Paladino D'Oro Film Festival in Sicily, Italy where it was nominated for an award and the film completed the festival circuit in 2024 and is now available to watch on Vimeo and YouTube.

Stefanie is working to get her first feature, Sagewalk, off the ground as well as her next film, Deirfiúracha, which she's written and will direct and produce with her sister, Abbi Butler under their production company, Living Stones Pictures. It is a period piece about two Irish potato farmers in the late 1800's. Stefanie is also writing her father's life story into a biopic titled Against All Odds and is fortunate to have the incredible Shane Graham attached to play her father.
