Schott was born in 1989 in Greifswald. At the age of three, she and her family moved to Bennewitz, Saxony; when she was eight, she took up swimming and joined a swimming club in nearby Wurzen. In 2002, she was severely injured riding her bicycle when a van hit her while overtaking. This left her with incomplete paraplegia and she now uses a wheelchair.[1] She competes in the S7, SM6 and SB5 classifications.[2]
In 2010 Schott left the club in Leipzig where she had been training when she moved to Berlin to study biology at the Humboldt University of Berlin. There she began training with Matthias Ulm at Berlin's Paralympic Sport Club (PSC Berlin).[1][3] She had a son, Lean, in June 2011.[3]
Schott was at the World Para Swimming Allianz Championships in 2019 in London. She competed in the 100m backstroke S6 and took gold beating the world record holder Song Lingling.[6]
