Name:<\/strong>
\nGabriela Rangel<\/p>\n

Location:<\/strong>
\nOttawa, Canada<\/p>\n

Email:<\/strong>
\ng.rangel@aiic.net<\/p>\n

What I do:<\/strong>
\nConference interpretation, translation and editing of scientific articles.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m most proud of:<\/strong>
\nHaving run a 10K race just recently :-). Professionally speaking, I feel like I have done my job when I walk away from a meeting sensing that the parties have become more engaged than they were before.<\/p>\n

My background:<\/strong>
\nI am Brazilian and have\u00a0a degree in Animal Science. I worked for a few years in the dairy industry as a consultant and I organized technical meetings for veterinarians, animal scientists and dairy farmers. I became known among my peers as \u201cthe translator.\u201d I married a Canadian, moved to this beautiful (sometimes chilly) country and have been translating full-time ever since.<\/p>\n

Why do I belong to PLD?<\/strong>
\nI just wish\u00a0to meet people who are \u201cin the same boat\u201d and to exchange experiences.<\/p>\n

Major challenges in my career:<\/strong>
\nI worked at the G20 Summit here in Toronto, in 2010. It was surreal seeing all those characters, some being highly controversial politicians, at such close proximity. A few looked like they came right out of a book! I remember the speed, too: I am used to fast speakers and have seen faster ones, but it was a challenge!<\/p>\n

What I\u2019m reading now:<\/strong>
\n\u201cJean Christophe<\/a>,\u201d by Romain Rolland, a Nobel winner and author of a biography of Beethoven published more than 100 years ago. \u00a0Here is what the author said about his book: \u201cMy novel is the story of a life from birth to death and my protagonist is a great German musician who is forced by circumstances to leave home at age 16 and lives in different places in Europe. To spell it out, the hero is Beethoven in the modern world.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
