Career

Schlegel began her career as a sales manager for Marriott International. From 2001 to 2011, she was a pharmaceutical sales representative for AstraZeneca. In 2014 and 2015, she was a counselor for Catholic Counseling Services. Since 2015, she has worked for Lighthouse Counseling Center. She is a certified certified sex addiction counselor,. She was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives in a May 2021 special election, succeeding Charles Henry.

Political positions

Schlegel has supported legislation that would ban transgender students from competing on girls' sports teams in schools.

In 2022, she sponsored a bill requiring online pornographic content providers to verify that end-users are 18 or more in Louisiana. After the bill was passed, it was mostly ignored in the press but has served as a blueprint for similar legislation in other states and has been described as a significant step towards the Supreme Court reconsidering previous decisions in this field..
