Career Early career

Schaller began figure skating in 2007. Joining the Salzburg Skating Club, she was first coached by Iva Žvachtová before switching to Julia Kiefer and Sandra Riegler prior to the 2016–17 figure skating season. Mayr was initially interested in teaming up with Schaller in 2018 when he was first beginning his pairs career, but at the time, Schaller had chosen to prioritize her future in singles. The skaters would attribute their ease adapting to skating together to their long-standing relationship, having known one another since childhood and trained at the same rink for many years. Continuing, the pair competed at the Skate to Milano Olympic qualifying event, aiming to secure an Olympic quota for Austria in pairs for the upcoming Olympic Games. The pair had to place in the top three to secure the quota; failing to do so by placing 9th.

In November, the pair competed at Ice Challenge, as well as Cup of Innsbruck placing 5th and 4th respectively. Subsequently, placing 9th and garnering new season best results at Golden Spin.

The pair closed their career by winning silver at the Bavarian Open. They announced their retirement on 31 July 2026.
