Becky Schmidt on the mall with a Landcare vehicle

Meet Becky Schmidt

Saturday, January 1, 2022 - 12:00

“I started in Landcare as a student worker, and I had a great time working alongside nice, smart, motivated people. I was hired on full time in 2005, and I’ve been here ever since.

“My job was easy enough to learn, but there are always new challenges. I love working outdoors on our beautiful campus.

“We can take overtime as additional pay or save it as additional vacation time. That’s a huge benefit of working here.”—Becky Schmidt, Irrigation Technician, Teamsters Local 320
