Schneider, Ann

Millbrae is my home. I graduated from Meadows Elementary School, Taylor Middle School, Capuchino High School and later, UCLA. I returned home several years ago to care for my parents, Richard & Jacqueline. I support our seniors' ability to stay in their homes, ensuring we live in a healthy community, caring for the environment and growing our economic base while supporting our existing businesses. My life work supports these values: mentoring Mills’ Green Youth Alliance students; counseling students on career opportunities; six weeks working on the San Bruno Gas Explosion as a Red Cross Disaster Volunteer; five years in economic development creating jobs, taught at UC Santa Cruz/SJSU; managed cost effective recycling programs at Hewlett Packard and City of San Jose; led Sierra Club recycling projects, served on the countywide curbside recycling Task Force and led our effort to incorporate recycling into California’s Climate Action Plans.
