Astrid also holds a Business Information Systems bachelor’s degree, Masters in Business Administration and has more than fourteen plus corporate pharmaceutical years of experience. So she has first hand knowledge, navigating the corporate world as a Latinx woman of color. When she is not working she is playing referee with her two boys and talking art with her husband, Jerel Ferguson.
Astrid has moderated and held several panel discussions such as the many shades of sexual assault with End Rape on Campus, reframing negative self-talk, and cultivating difficult conversations involving diversity and inclusion. When she is not facilitating workshops or panel discussions, she infuses her poetry with the many intersectionalities trauma impacts long-term relationships, mental health, financial decisions, women, people of color, parenting styles, and the overall human identity.
