I had several classes with Astrid, and her determination and desire to learn always impressed me. I even collaborated with her on one of our projects, and her focus and drive (especially armed with a camera) really made an impact on my experience at USF. To this day, I consider her one of my finest classmates, and I am confident that she will succeed in any endeavor she takes on.

Astrid was an excellent student with a good eye for photography and photographic composition. Her writing was solid and she was a hard worker who strove to provide good stories with strong visuals to back up those stories. Her work ethic was outstanding on the projects she worked on for class as well as her final project.

Astrid is a gifted multimedia talent who works fluidly, proficiently and professionally with writing, photography and editing to create a polished finished project. On top of the quality of work, the passion for the subject showed, her knowledgeable about MMA added invaluable contextual depth to the product. I enjoyed and learned a lot working with Astrid and would certainly recommend her.

I've known Astrid for several years now, she's always energetic, a great motivator and personal friend. Because of her, I'm working hard to get a healthier body. I love Shakeology, Brazil Butt Lift and looking forward someday be part of her Insanity challenge group!
