Gillian teaches Gaelic Online Level 1. She began her Gaelic journey online with courses from Colaisde na Gàidhlig and Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. So great was her passion for the language that she traveled to Scotland and completed a four year Gaelic and education degree at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. Since then, she has been sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm for Gaelic as an online Gaelic teacher and by bringing Gaelic back to local historical programmes. Gillian lives in Thunder Bay Ontario where she works as an elementary school teacher. When she’s not teaching, Gillian coaches speed skating for the Special Olympics and plays the bagpipes for the Thunder Bay Pipes and Drums.
