Ceapadh Gráinne Ní Bhreithiún mar Oifigeach na Gaeilge in 2014, ag tosú inár bhfoireann i nGráinseach Ghormáin. Roimhe seo, bhí PhD curtha i gcrích ag Gráinne in Ollscoil Mhá Nuad, áit a ndearna sí imscrúdú ar nádúr an dátheangachais shochaíoch in Éirinn agus tarraingíonn sí ar an taighde seo ina ról in OT Baile Átha Cliath. Tá Gráinne, as Baile Átha Cliath, tumtha sa Ghaeilge ó bhí sí trí bliana d'aois nuair a bhí sí ina dalta i nGaelscoil Naomh Pádraig, ag leanúint lena cuid staidéir i gColáiste Cois Life, Leamhcán, áit ar fhorbair a grá don Ghaeilge. Rinne Gráinne staidéar ar an Nua-Ghaeilge agus ar na Meáin Chumarsáide in Ollscoil Mhá Nuad, áit ar bhain sí céim le céad onóracha amach. Agus í ag tabhairt faoina staidéar dochtúireachta iarchéime, bhain Gráinne dioplóma amach freisin i dTeagasc na Gaeilge d'Fhoghlaimeoirí Fásta agus tá breis agus deich mbliana de thaithí aici i dteagasc na Gaeilge, áit ar mhúin sí i Roinn na Nua-Ghaeilge agus i Roinn an Oideachais Aosaigh agus Pobail in Ollscoil Mhá Nuad. Ina ról mar Oifigeach na Gaeilge in OT Baile Átha Cliath, baineann Gráinne taitneamh as a cuid eolais agus scileanna a chur i bhfeidhm ar bhealaí praiticiúla agus baineann sí an-taitneamh as a bheith ag obair i réimse an oideachais ag an tríú leibhéal. Tá tionscnaimh bunaithe aici ar nós Conas Atá TÚ (comhrá agus cupán tae), BÚA (meantóireacht ar mhic léinn ag eagrú imeachtaí) agus IrisZine (iris dhátheangach á cruthú ag mic léinn do mhic léinn) agus is mór aici gnéithe cruthaitheacha an róil. Tá Gráinne ag roinnt an phoist faoi láthair.
