Not me. :) I think that you could be right. She was certainly a
Gallifreyan, but I don't think that all Gallifreyans were Time Lords. To
quote the Wikipedia article "Time Lord":

'It is implied (in The Invasion of Time and The Deadly Assassin) that
the terms "Gallifreyan" and "Time Lord" may not be synonymous, and that
Time Lords are simply that subset of Gallifreyans who have achieved the
status of Time Lord via achievement in the Gallifreyan collegiate
system...'
