02: Mariana Horrisberger

In our second episode, Katherine talks with Mariana Horrisberger, a trilingual translator with over ten years of experience in the learning and development localization field. Maru and Katherine chat about the importance of access to learning assets in multiple languages; the nuances of translating not just the words in training materials, but also the culture behind the words; and the joys of learning a language before the Internet was a thing. 

Maru is co-organizer of the Global Learning and Development Community, a volunteer-led space for people in L&D to network and help each other, and does Business Development for Language Network. She is an Argentine expat living in Southern Oregon and has a passion for travel and languages. She is fluent in English, Spanish and Brazilian Portuguese.
