About Astrid

My name is Astrid. I am 17 years old, well turning 18 on Sept 25. I was born in the Dominican Republic, and came to the United States at the age of 3 so I was basically raised here. I lived most of my youth in Queens, and moved to East New York (Brooklyn) about 4 years ago. I graduated from Murry Bergtraum High School, which is a business HS so I majored in Accounting. I decided I didn't want to go away for college, so I came to Baruch and I'm planning to hopefully major in Accounting if I don't change my mind along the way.
