Interpreter & Translator Dialogue
Meet Gabriela Doural
 

Gabriela Doural joined the International Institute's Business Solution Center as an interpreter and translator for the Spanish language in 2008. She was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and describes her dialect of Castellano (Spanish) as unique from the dialect spoken in other countries in South America. 

 

She was completing her degree in Anthropology when one of her professors spoke with her about the International Institute. She believes language translation and interpretation offer a very diverse environment of thinking. Gabriela finds it rewarding to help individuals in difficult situations while conversing in their native language. Read more about Gabriela.
