Terminology & Localization Consultant

Consistent terminology.
Clearer global messaging.

I help language service providers and enterprise localization teams build terminology programs and localization workflows that lower translation costs, shorten review cycles and keep every language on message, drawing on more than a decade on both the buyer and vendor side. Increasingly, that means turning terminology into a structured, AI-ready asset for machine translation and generative AI.
