Schroeder is the County Attorney for Arapahoe County and oversees a 33 member department. She has worked for Arapahoe County for 18 years.

Schroeder joins Commissioner Susan Beckman, Shannon Carter, the Special Assistant to the Board of County Commissioners, and Finance Director Janet Kennedy, who have attended the Senior Executive program from Arapahoe County.
