In that role, she taught business law, international business, and ethics and corporate social responsibility. She also was the director of the international business program, academic director of the honors program and chair of the Building a Better World Through Business initiative.
Prior to academia, Astrid practiced law in the fields of immigration law, business compliance and health care policy in Washington, D.C. and New York City.
