Ann Schnitz has over 30 years of academic and consulting experience in environmental toxicology and has performed human health and ecological risk assessments using both State and Federal guidance; at least ten (10) years of that experience has involved the determination of the toxicological effects of contaminants on organisms in support of injury assessments, ecological risk assessments and community structure/impact evaluations.  Although polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are a particular specialty, she has evaluated the risks of exposures to metals, chlorinated solvents, pesticides and PCBs to a variety of receptors.

Other aspects of Ann’s career include project management, regulatory compliance, vertebrate and invertebrate taxonomy, comparative anatomy and physiology, marketing and business development, technical writing and presentations.  Ann received her Bachelors and Master’s degrees from New York University and her doctorate from Rutgers University.  She is currently a senior risk assessor at Advisian, a division of WorleyParsons, Inc.
