Early life

[edit]

Schulz was born in 1971 to Iva and Richard Schulz of White Plains, New York.[1] In 1993, she earned a bachelor's degree from Loyola University Maryland, then called Loyola College, in Baltimore.[1]

Magazine career

[edit]

Schulz began her magazine career as an editorial assistant at Redbook magazine in 1994.[2]

In July 2003, Schulz became editor-in-chief of CosmoGirl after the founding editor, Atoosa Rubenstein, left CosmoGirl to lead Seventeen magazine.[3] Before the promotion, Schulz had been the executive editor of CosmoGirl. In December 2008, Hearst ended the print publication of CosmoGirl, and Schulz was then moved to a position at the company working on special projects.[4] Schulz at one time had the title editorial brand director of Cosmopolitan and managed such projects as Cosmo Books and a Cosmopolitan clothing line at JCPenney.[2]

Writing credits

[edit]

For the nonfiction book Cat Women: Female Writers on Their Feline Friends (Seal Press, 2007), Schulz contributed a short essay on her cat dying one week before her wedding.[5]

Other work

[edit]

From 2021 to 2022, Schulz worked as vice president/marketing director for the nonprofit organization Muscular Dystrophy Association.[6] Before that, for five years, she was marketing director for the nonprofit organization New York Academy of Sciences.[6]

Schulz has served on the board of directors, in the role of secretary, for GlamourGals, a nonprofit organization that pairs teenage volunteers with seniors to provide companionship.[7]
