Schiro has lived abroad in locations from Asia to the Middle East. After an early career working for Lockheed Martin (Aircraft) Corporation, she transitioned to teaching in higher education. Her 15 years of teaching has involved innovative pedagogy using globalized curriculums and international alliances. Schiro is bridging the gap between business and knowledge by expanding internationalization with faculty-led study abroad, by maximizing experiential-learning as the faculty internship coordinator, and by escalating business diversity discussions in New York City. In 2016, Schiro was awarded the Diversity Enhancement Research Grant by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for her research on measuring the impact of internationalization on underrepresented students.
