If she's a Welsh speaker (not just someone who grew up in Wales) you'll be able to hear the h-breathing just before the r (bit like a French rolled r), the stress on the second syllable - most three syllable Welsh words and names are stressed on the second syllable, and the final vowel will not quite be a schwa sound....
