In 2019, she recorded a victory at the Doral-Publix Junior Classic, and advanced to the quarterfinals in The R&A's Girls Amateur Championship. She finished in the top-10 in all but one of her six starts in 2020, including a win at the Swiss Ladies Amateur.

Schulz-Hanssen captured the 2020 European Ladies Amateur Championship, after rounds with 66, 66, 70 and 69. She had a one stroke lead after her fifth birdie of the day on the 16th hole, however she conceded her first double bogey of the championship on the last hole, dropping to 271 strokes (–13), level with Chloé Salort of France. A three-hole play-off battle for the title ensued, where Schulz-Hanssen took a one shot lead on the first hole with a birdie, and secured the title with another birdie on the third hole.
