While living in the east village neighborhood of Manhattan, Schram was a member of the Stella Adler Studio of Acting and started taking part in various fashion shoots and fashion presentations in the city, as well as short films^[4] and videos including with friends at the art school in her neighborhood, Cooper Union. Schram has sat for numerous acclaimed fashion photographers including Arthur Elgort and Irving Penn. She decided to move to Elite Model Management in 2006.
