Gabriela has thirty years of experience as a trader within the international market of agricultural products from Argentina, USA, and China. She is retired from the trade business, yet she continues to keep an eye on it. She holds a degree in Philosophy from the University del Salvador in Buenos Aires and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in international relations at the Austral University of Buenos Aires. She is the founder and president of Plan País Argentina, an NGO established out of concern for the country’s persistent decline. She is outraged by the 66% poverty rate among children under the age of 14. She believes that Argentina, if well managed, has what it takes to be a prosperous country.
Most of her time is spent on the study and research of philosophy. She believes that this subject must fill the schools as well as the streets. This approach to philosophy is an essential part of the job that she performs in Plan País Argentina: to combine massiveness, reflection, and knowledge in order to bring about the paradigm shift that her country imperiously needs. She does a lot of writing: poetry, stories, essays, academic reflections. She also dances and meditates every day. Gabriela loves travelling and taking pictures. For more than a decade she has been working on a series called “Women of the World.” Being fascinated by nature and a passionate gardener, she has grown thousands of trees and she cultivates her garden with care.
