Explanation:
Hello Angela,

It all depends on the context....
Dra is an Italian abbreviation of Dottora, the title of a female person with a PhD.
It might be they use the same abbr. in Spanish as well.

See the following link:

Dra is also a the Norwegian word for travel/go on a journey/pull something

So if you give us a bit more of the context in which you find the word Dra, we can give you the translation.

I wish you all the best !

Explanation:
.. a woman with a doctoral degree (masc. form would be "Dr."; an 'a' may be added to show that the person is female - e.g., in a list of names, only last names, so the gender of the person would not become apparent otherwise).
