I am an experienced Gaelic broadcaster and educator, currently heard regularly on BBC Radio nan Gàidheal and known to younger audiences as a presenter on CBeebies Storytime for BBC Alba. I hold a postgraduate qualification in Gaelic Translation from Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, where I also taught intensive Gaelic Easter and Summer courses for many years. My teaching experience includes university-level Gaelic instruction at the University of Vienna. Alongside language teaching, I am a specialist in voice and performance. I have presented work on accents and dialects at the World Voice Consortium in Denmark, and my ongoing research into the musicality of Gaelic speech continues to shape my teaching. My classes aim to bring the language to life through sound, culture, and connection.
