Hi. 'S mise Cam. 'S e tidsear a th' annam. I've been teaching for most of my adult life, in
museums, in living history settings, in traditional classrooms, and lately, on Skype too. I have an
interdisciplinary approach to history. I think we gain a better understanding of an area when we
take a wider view, looking at its geology, geography, and social history as well as political history.
My academic training includes an M.A. from the University of Wisconsin in Ibero-American Area
Studies and an M.A. from East Tennessee State University in History.
When I'm not teaching history or Gaelic, I like to knit and play the harp, and I host a regular
program of Gaelic songs on An Comunn Gàidhealach Ameireaganach's Rèidio Guth nan Gàidheal.

Hi, ’S mise Marine and I live in the french-speaking part of Switzerland. I’ve been learning Gaelic with Caroline since 2013 and I am about to complete An Cùrsa Adhartais at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig.
I have a Bachelor degree in Information Science from the Geneva School of Business Administration (HEG) and am currently working as a school and public librarian. I have also been volunteering as a French tutor for two and a half years.
Passionate about languages, I have a strong interest in minority languages in general and in Gaelic in particular. Looking forward to helping anyone to discover and enjoy that beautiful language, in either French or English!
Bonjour, je m’appelle Marine et je viens de Suisse romande. J’apprends le gaélique avec Caroline depuis 2013 et j'ai également suivi An Cùrsa Adhartais à l’université du Sabhal Mòr Ostaig. Au bénéfice d’un Bachelor en Information documentaire à la Haute Ecole de Gestion de Genève (HEG), je travaille actuellement dans une bibliothèque publique et scolaire. J’ai également été formatrice bénévole de français langue étrangère durant deux ans et demi.
Passionnée par les langues, j’ai un grand intérêt pour les langues minoritaires et particulièrement pour le gaélique. Au plaisir de vous faire découvrir et apprécier cette belle, en anglais comme en français !

Shay MacMullin is an old soul with a curious mind, generous spirit and special love of Cape Breton Gaels, their language and culture. Born in Upper Grand Mira, she always wanted to learn her grandfather’s language but didn’t get the chance until decades later when she attended Halifax immersion classes with Kathleen Reddy. She picked up the language quickly, and is a strong believer in immersion methodology. Through her Bun is Bàrr mentorship with Seumas Watson, Anna MacKinnon and Mickey John H MacNeil, Shay was introduced to the world of the Gaelic speaker and began learning songs, stories, community and family history. She loves anything local: songs, food, crafts, music, dances, plants, and dialects. She is making it her personal mission to revive the house visiting tradition in Cape Breton, and can often be seen kicking up her heels at square dances. Shay is a bridge for the learner into the world of the Cape Breton Gael and is a dedicated professional and passionate about sharing all she has learned with others. She has taken part in language workshops in Nova Scotia and Scotland (including a fishing derby in Barra), is a mentor in the Bun is Bàrr program and was project manager for the An Drochaid Eadarainn website.
