Gabriela is in the third year of her undergraduate degree, majoring in Linguistics, with a minor in Latin American Studies, at McGill University. Gabriela is Brazilian-American, which has influenced her interest in endangered languages, and language diversity, in Brazil, but also Latin America as a whole. Her background and recent studies of Latin America has also led to an interest in language acquisition and how two cultures coexist in the context of immigration. The tie between language and culture is of particular importance to her. Gabriela is excited to further these ideas through her participation in ÉRIGAL.
