Schopf was introduced to
dressage while studying at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Born in the United States, she has competed internationally for her native country, as well as both Germany and Armenia. Both Schopf's maternal and fraternal grandparents fled Armenia during the Armenian genocide of the early twentieth century. Her maternal grandparents sought refuge in
Beirut, while her fraternal grandparents sought refuge in the US by way of Azerbaijan and Georgia. She is married to German businessman and dressage rider Bernd Schopf, and divides her time between
Bremen and
Wellington, Florida. Schopf competed at the
2019 European Championships in Rotterdam, where she placed 58th in the individual competition aboard her horse Saumur. In doing so, she became the first Armenian representative at any
FEI-level equestrian championships. ==References==
