In 2005, Schroeder appeared as a contestant on season 8 of the reality game show The Amazing Race, alongside her father Mark, her step-mother Char, and her brother Hunter; the family came in 7th place of 10 teams.[8] After the filming of the show, the Schroeders' house was flooded and destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. They stayed with another family from the show while they rebuilt their house.[9] While going to school in 2008, she was on the television series Queen Bees.[10]

I wanted to do something that has an Egyptian vibe because I love gold but with a ladylike twist [with] pearls and stones," Schroeder said of the collaboration.[23] She released a clothing line in collaboration with JustFab in July 2019.[24][25] The collection has two parts "Next Level Basics" and "#OOTN (Outfit of the Night)".[26][27][28]

She has received noteworthy praise for her style from periodicals such as People magazine, who described Schroeder as "the most fashion-focused of all her castmates" on Vanderpump Rules.[29]
