English Literature Major and Journalism Minor, Schmidt's first job was writing for the Enterprise Newspaper in Westchester County, New York. She has always been fascinated by the written word and the smell of newsprint. After working at the Marriott Marquis in Manhattan as a Tour and Travel Manager, she w

For many successful years Schmidt designed, wrote and published a real estate oriented magazine under a family publishing company--Donnin Publishing.

Schmidt was also the Manager of the very successful "Minute of Silence" 2012 Campaign for the Munich 11. A campaign that brought worldwide attention to the '72 Munich Massacre--getting everyone from President Obama to Olympic Gymnist Aly Raisman involved. "Donna managed a big part
of our world-wide campaign
and was in contact with many
international and national
media outlets. She wrote gripping
and intelligent text for
our petition and was a driving
force in reaching our goal." Written by:Ankie Spitzer, International Journalist and Wife of slain Olympian Andre Spitzer
"If the success of a project hangs on getting the right words out at the right time in front of the right audience, there is only one person to consider. Donna Schmidt is the first choice, hands down, to get the job done." Written by: Deborah Ivry

Mrs. Schmidt worked tirelessly in many capacities, besides being our point of contact. She acted as a press and communication officer, global outreach and social media manager. Please bear in mind that we were working on a project of extreme sensitivity with no room for mistakes and were followed by millions of supporters and watched by billions from around the world. In our crusade for justice and respect, we were facing both the biggest sporting organization, The International Olympic Committee, as well as the families of the slain athletes still dealing with pain and grievance.
