Undergraduate Education: Washington State University, Bachelor of Science in Zoology, 2018

Medical School: University of Washington, 2025

Dr. Schulz was born and raised in Whitefish, MT, a small ski town outside Glacier National Park. Her athletic achievements brought her across the country to St. John’s University in NYC, where she competed in Division I Track and Field. She later transferred to Washington State University, where she continued to compete in the Pac-12, running the 800-meter dash. She graduated from the WSU Honors College with a degree in Zoology.

Before medical school, Dr. Schulz worked as an EMT and a medical assistant in urgent care, where she continued to foster a love of medicine and service. While at the University of Washington School of Medicine, she found ophthalmology, which combined technical excellence in microsurgery with meaningful, lasting patient relationships. She is over the moon to stay in the PNW for her ophthalmology residency, where she can continue to ski, hike with her dog, Bolt, and enjoy all the food, sports, and culture Seattle offers.
