Univision (2009-2011)
She is currently working towards a Masters Degree in journalism at Iowa State University. She was named the National Godmother of the Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City June 10, 2007.
After 19 years of serving as anchor woman for Univision's weekend newscasts, Noticiero Univision: Fin de Semana, Maria Antonieta Collins decided to leave Univision, thereby leaving the anchor chair vacated and would be filled in by substitutes notably Schmidt, Ilia Calderon, and Martin Berlanga.
From September 2005 to February 2011, Edna Schmidt with Enrique Teutelo co-anchored Univision's weekend newscasts at 6:30pm and 11:30pm weekends. Edna Schmidt and Enrique Teutelo were praised by Hispanicmarketweekly.com, saying that Teutelo and Schmidt gave a fresh face to the news weekends because they often alternated in the delivery of the news. She was however replaced with Ilia Calderon in early March 2011.
On April 4, 2011 she returned to deliver the news at 11:30 pm co-anchoring with Ilia Calderon on Ultima Hora, now under its new name of Noticiero Univision: Edicion Noctura (Evening Edition).
On July 1, 2011, Schmidt announced via Twitter that she was subbing as news anchor for Despierta America for Sascha Pretto but that she would return to Noticias Univisión where she stayed until September 2011, when she was let go.
