All candidates in the 2023 board elections have been asked to answer the set of questions listed below. Feel free to ask Gabriela additional questions in the comments area below this post!
Being able to voice the concerns of volunteers and staff, as I've been in both sides of the equation.
I've been part of GV since 2007, and I think I've been everywhere in GV. I started as a volunteer translator and now I'm Lingua editor. I think I'm the GVer with the most translations published, so I think my name had been around a lot!
Be a link between volunteers and board, mostly because GV relies on heavily volunteers.
That GV makes the world look smaller.
Learn how this great organization works and give my two cents from the volunteer point of view.
With organization and right scheduling.
I can be contacted anytime by e-mail or Slack (although I prefer e-mail). I'd be open to suggestions, opinions, questions from the community at any time.
