Schawa began her schooling in 2002, attending her local primary school. She eventually graduated in 2012, and began attending Gries Gymnasiüm. While a high school student, Schawa was a high academic achiever, yet wanted to pursue modeling instead of an academic profession. Her parents were supportive of her career goals. She graduated from high school in 2015, and moved to Munbach to begin modeling professionally.

## Career

### Modeling

Schawa first began her modeling career at age 12, after asking her mother to take her to a local agency in order to begin modeling professionally. She was signed, and worked as a print model throughout Kavarland, Warnesster, and Northwest Veckerland.

After graduating from high school, Schawa left her Kavarland-based agency and moved to Munbach in order to take her career more seriously. After arriving, she signed with Image Models Lungary, one of the largest modeling agencies in Lungary. With Image Models, Schawa walked in runway shows for a number of designers and have appeared in fashion weeks in cities such as Munbach, Elgerholme, Morgante, Varsava, Kovoff, Karenna, Elenhem, and Kroftsi. She has additionally continued work in print modeling, appearing on the cover of several Lungarian and international fashion magazines.

### Pageantry

Schawa began her pageantry career in 2016, competing in the Miss Munbach 2017 pageant. Schawa had never previously considered pageantry, but became interested after befriending Miss Lungary 2015 Elsabet Koningschauss. She placed as the 4th runner-up in the competition. The following year, Schawa returned to her home state to compete in Miss Kavarland 2018, and won the competition. As Miss Kavarland 2018, she was given the right to represent Kavarland in the Miss Lungary 2018 pageant.

Schawa arrived in Kolna for Miss Lungary 2018 on 4 December 2017. Many pageant analysts had considered her a favorite for the crown since her original crowning of Miss Kavarland 2018. Schawa went on to place 3rd runner-up in the competition, behind only Anna Bartza of Munbach, Kenna Schlaub of Darland, and Maria-Liann Zümschermann of Schaussterland.

## Personal life
