Schuyler Penn is an aspiring divorce lawyer living in New York City. Previously, she studied comparative human development and sociology in graduate school at the University of Chicago.

Most of my career is yet to be written, but below is a resume of what I’ve done so far in my academic life:

University of Chicago (Masters)

2021 – 2022

The MA Program in the Social Sciences (MAPSS) is an intense, intellectually transformative one-year program offering extraordinary access to the faculty and resources of a world-class research University. Students concentrate in anthropology, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology, or in interdisciplinary research. They take nine graduate courses, selected from all UChicago departments and professional schools. They work directly with UChicago faculty on the MA thesis. Students are assisted in their course selections, and offered weekly mentorship for their research, by postdoctoral students “preceptors" and by the MAPSS senior staff.

University of Chicago (Bachelors)

2016 – 2020

The Department of Comparative Human Development (CHD) is an interdisciplinary program at the critical edge of thought and research in the social sciences, examining what it means to be human during a contemporary moment marked by rapid social, technological, and ecological change; massive global movements of people and ideas; and wide-ranging forms of inequality. Faculty and students in the Department conduct interdisciplinary, holistic and comparative research and scholarship focused on individual lives within various, changing, and heterogeneous contexts. .

1998 - Present

Outside of work, I engage in a range of different activities to lead a well-rounded and fulfilling life. Including:

  • Skiing in Colorado

  • Singing (throughout college, and now in the shower)

  • Distance running

  • Baking

Beyond work, I’m excited to share my passions (and specifically my pastries) with you!

I’m early in my career, but what I may lack in prior experience, I more than make up for with kindness, a diligent work ethic, and most importantly, a true passion to help make peoples’ relationships and marriages better — and in the unfortunate case of divorce — help lead them to the best outcomes for themselves, as well as their children.
