As a professional translator and interpreter, Cecilia Davila brings to DregerLaw a unique set of skills not generally found in a law firm.  In her role as Multi-cultural Liaison, Cecilia acts as a consultant to the Spanish-speaking community seeking legal counsel.  As a part of DregerLaw, she facilitates communication in spite of linguistic or cultural differences, enabling our lawyers to deliver better legal services.

Since earning a degree in 1991 from the National University of Mexico UNAM, Cecilia has earned many degrees and certificates in foreign language translation from a wide variety of institutions including the University Colegio de Mexico, French Embassy Cultural Center of Latin America, Berlitz Interpreters and Training Center, Instituto Italiano de Cultura, Italo Calvino, Stendhal University, University of Rochester, Britania Institute Mexico City and the French Ministry of Education. In 2013, Cecilia received a Master’s degree in Latin American Liturature and Culture from Northeastern Illinois University.
