Television
In 2005, Schroeder appeared as a contestant on the reality game show The Amazing Race, alongside her father Mark, her step-mother Char, and her brother Hunter.[7] 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.[8] While going to school in 2008, she was on the television series Queen Bees.[9]
In 2010, she started working at Lisa Vanderpump's restaurants SUR and Villa Blanca, which earned her a spot on the reality television series Vanderpump Rules. The series follows Vanderpump's employees, as they work on building their futures and become entangled in interpersonal drama.[10] On June 9, 2020, Schroeder and co-star, Kristen Doute were fired from the show because they reported former co-star, Faith Stowers to the police for a crime that she did not commit.[11]
In 2016, she portrayed Koening in the television film Sharknado: The 4th Awakens. She has also appeared on three episodes of Bravo's reality television series Summer House between 2017 and 2019.[12] In November 2019, Schroeder starred in a digital series called Basically Stassi, with fiancé Beau Clark.[13] The series is available online on Bravo's website and YouTube channel.[14]

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.[19] She released a clothing line in collaboration with JustFab in July 2019.[20][21] The collection has two parts "Next Level Basics" and "#OOTN (Outfit of the Night)".[22][23][24]
