Early life

Schneider was born and raised in the Dayton section of South Brunswick, New Jersey, to Andrea (formerly Schneider, née Wisdom) and David Kapinos (stepfather). She attended South Brunswick High School.[3]

UNC Wilmington

In February 2017, Schneider signed a letter of intent to join the UNC Wilmington Seahawks.[4] In her freshman year she started all 19 games, becoming only the second goalkeeper in school history to play every minute in a season.[2]

Professional career

She was drafted 29th overall by Washington Spirit in the 2021 NWSL Draft.[5]

International career

Schneider qualified to play for the United States (her birthplace and her mother's), Germany (her biological father's birthplace) or Jamaica (her maternal grandparents' birthplace).[6][7] She turned down the chance to play the Jamaica U-17 team in 2015 but accepted in 2016 and represented Jamaica at the 2016 CONCACAF Women's U-17 Championship.[8]

At the 2018 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship Schneider played all three group games for Jamaica. They finished last in their group and did not qualify for the knockout round.[9]

Schneider was named to the Jamaican squad for the 2018 CONCACAF Women's Championship. In their second group match against Costa Rica, Schneider was named player of the match as she made some key saves, helping Jamaica secure an upset 1–0 victory over the 34th ranked team.[10]

Schneider was chosen by coach Hue Menzies as the first choice in Jamaica's goal at the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup. In her debut against Brazil, she saved a penalty kick and had a prominent participation during the match, despite having lost it by 0–3.[11]

Personal life

Schneider comes from a multicultural family. Her biological father, Ernie, is German; her mother, Andrea, was born in the United States to a Jamaican-born father, and a Jamaican mother;[6] and her stepfather David is of Greek descent.
