She was actively involved in the Student Government and the Investor Club and served as the President of the Class Council.

Schapiro debuted with her memoir F*CK RESTRICTIONS — AND YOUR MOM TOO. The book reflects her personal battles with a restrictive eating disorder that began in the eighth grade, leading to social isolation, depression, and suicidal thoughts. The memoir, presented as a mix of self-help and personal narrative, explores themes of addiction, independence, and recovery.

It is published in both English and Danish, as Schapiro wrote the original manuscript in English.

Her struggles with an eating disorder significantly shaped her life and work, culminating in a story that is both humorous and raw. The book addresses critical issues faced by Generation Z, including the impacts of social media, self-image, and mental health challenges.
