Having held the full time post of Gaelic development officer in Argyll, Bute and the Islands for An Comunn Gaidhealach since graduating, Joy is well known for her commitment and dedication to the promotion and even development of Gaelic and involvement in a wide range of great Gaelic activities. She gained an international perspective to her work in 2007 and 2008 whilst working on sabbatical as Gaelic Instructor in residence for Fèis Mhàbu in Cape Breton for six months and with communities in New
Zealand promoting and developing Gaelic language and song. She is also a popular language teacher having taught courses for Sabhal Mòr Ostaig, Clì, CNSA and local Gaelic organisations and is also in great demand throughout Scotland as both a written and simultaneous translator. Her engaging manner and ease in front of a microphone has led her to be a popular guest speaker and MC for events and conferences both in
the UK and further a field. Joy is also a much sought after local and National Mod adjudicator for both Gaelic and music.
