Her website will feature a select group of coins that will be available for purchase. Shanna Schmidt graduated from the University of Illinois with a Bachelor of Science in 1993.

After almost ten years of working overseas, Shanna Schmidt returned to Chicago to work in the company her father had founded, Harlan J. Berk Ltd. Apart from these activities, she graduated with a Master's degree in Liberal Arts from the University of Chicago in 2013.
