Anne M Schot was born on 20 September 1966 in Leidschendam, a town in South Holland province, Netherlands (Leidschendam has effectively become a suburb of Den Haag).{{cite journal |last1=Schot |first1=Anne Marketta |title=Systematics of Aporosa (Euphorbiaceae): Proefschrift [Ph.D. thesis] |journal=Blumea |date=2004 |volume=17 |issue=Supplement |pages=1–380 |url=https://repository.naturalis.nl/pub/603331/Blumea_supplement_17.pdf |access-date=24 April 2021}}

She completed her diploma at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Leiden in 1984. In 1985 she started studies in Biology at Universiteit Leiden. She graduated in August 1991 with subjects in Evolutionary Biology and in Plant Geoegraphy, with the following works:

1. Een kwantitatieve analyse van de schutkleur bij Melanitis leda (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Satyridae) (A quantitative analysis of the camouflage color in Melanitis leda [Fabricius] [Lepidoptera: Satyridae]), under the supervision of Paul Brakefield, and J. Windy of the Institute of Evolutionary and Ecological Sciences;
2. Phylogenetic relations and historical biogeography of Fordia and Imbralyx (Papilionaceae: Millettieae), under the supervision of Robert Geesink and J.W.A. Knight-Numan of the Rijksherbarium/Hortus Botanicus research institute at Leiden.

During her undergraduate studies, she worked as a Student Assistant in the first year biology subject "Overview of the animal kingdom" and on the domestic excursion.

Career

She was employed as a Training Assistant of the Rijksherbarium/Hortus Botanicus research institute in Leiden (now the Universiteit Leiden branch of the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland) from 1 June 1992 to 31 May 1996, working on research of the genus Aporosa.

From 1 June 1996 until at least 2004, she was a part-time guest-worker at the Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Universiteit Leiden branch, where she was carrying out research that resulted in her doctoral thesis. During this time she first worked as a freelance translator, from June 1996, for the translation agency Bothof. In April 1997 her first daughter was born. From 1 March 1998 she worked in Rotterdam as an Application Designer Cobol in the Salaries and HR department for the information and communications technology company Roccade Civility. This company acquired other companies and from 1 January 2004 Schot was working for the PinkRoccade Payroll and HR Services division of the operating company PinkRoccade Public Sector. In March 1999 and in February 2003 Schot gave birth to her second and third daughters.

In November 2004 she completed her Ph.D under the supervision of Pieter Baas, co-supervised by M.C. Rose and Peter C. van Welzen, with referent M.C.M. Sosef (Wageningen University) and other members of the promotion commission, E. Gittenberger and P.J.M. Maas (Universiteit Utrecht). Her thesis was entitled Systematics of Aporosa (Euphorbiaceae), and it was published in the journal Blumea in that year, 2004. In a review by Levin, this is described as "the first comprehensive monograph of the genus in more

than 80 years."{{cite journal |last1=Leven |first1=Geoffrey A |title=Systematics of Aporosa (Euphorbiaceae) |journal=Brittonia |date=2005 |volume=57 |issue=2 |page=203 |doi=10.1663/0007-196X(2005)057[0203:BR]2.0.CO;2|s2cid=196611999 }}

Petra Hoffman, in her 2006 review, writes that "[Schot] did not dodge difficulties as is unfortunately so often seen in other [taxonomic] keys. She has delivered an excellent piece of work with regards species identification."{{cite journal |last1=Hoffman |first1=Petra |title=Review: Anne Schot. Systematics of Aporosa (Euphorbiaceae) |journal=Kew Bulletin |date=2006 |volume=61 |issue=2 |pages=286–7}}

At the end of her review Hoffman writes:

"In summary, this taxonomic revision is a tremendous achievement. Aporosa is by far the largest euphorbiaceous genus treated in such detail since Pax & Hoffmann's "Pflanzenreich" at the beginning of the 20th century."

She is one of the researchers on the Flora Malesiana{{cite web |title=Euphorbiaceae of Malesia: Researchers and Research Institutes |url=http://www.nationaalherbarium.nl/Euphorbs/Various/ResearchersT.htm |website=Flora Malesiana |publisher=Nationaal Herbarium Nederlands |access-date=27 April 2021}}
