She is a daughter of designer Edwin Schlossberg and diplomat Caroline Kennedy, and a granddaughter of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States, and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Early life and education

Schlossberg was born at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City on May 5, 1990, [1] to designer and artist Edwin Schlossberg and author and diplomat Caroline Kennedy. She is a granddaughter of 35th U.S. president John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. [2] She and her two siblings, Rose and Jack, were primarily raised in Manhattan's Upper East Side, and has also spent significant time at their maternal grandmother Jacqueline's estate at Martha's Vineyard growing up. [3] Schlossberg's father comes from an Orthodox Jewish family of Ukrainian descent, and her mother is a Catholic of Irish, French, Scottish, and English descent. She was raised Catholic, but her mother would also "incorporate Hanukkah" in the family's holiday party. [4] In 1996, she served as a flower girl to her uncle John F. Kennedy Jr.'s wedding. [5]

Schlossberg attended the all-girls Brearley School, which she attended with sister Rose, and the Trinity School, from which she graduated in 2008. [2] She graduated from Yale University in 2012 with a BA in History. At Yale, Schlossberg wrote for the Yale Herald eventually becoming the paper's editor-in-chief. [2] [6] She was also a member of the senior society Mace and Chain, [7] and was awarded the Charles A. Ryskamp Travel Grant for her research project which "explored the communities that grew out of the relationship between runaway slaves and coastal New England Native American tribes, particularly on Martha's Vineyard in the nineteenth century." [8] She went on to receive her masters in American History from the University of Oxford in 2014. [9]

Career

After her studies, Schlossberg had an internship at the Vineyard Gazette in Edgartown, Massachusetts, and became a municipal reporter at The Record in New Jersey. [8]

In 2014, she became part of summer interns of The New York Times, a 10-week stint usually given to recent college graduates and a few undergrads. [10] She was eventually hired as a reporter covering the Metro section. In 2014, she wrote a story about a dead bear cub found in Central Park which was later revealed in 2024 to have been placed there by her relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr.. [11] Schlossberg responded to the revelation, saying "like law enforcement, I had no idea who was responsible for this when I wrote the story.” [12]
