I’ve worked subtitling a couple documentary films. I’ve done post editing of machine translation for a few TV shows - prior to that I would have said you can’t use MT for creative fields. I stand corrected!

This is what motivates me to do my best work

Being respected, being included in decision making processes in the programs, organizations, and initiatives to which I am a stakeholder.

This is how I manage terminology consistency in my area of expertise

I curate subject area specific corpora that I monitor for terminology usage and change among subject matter experts. I store terminology records according to a structure that is compliant with Terminology Exchange standards by the International Organization for Standardization. (Plus, I help build those standards.)

My modus operandi for communicating with clients is

Chat, emoji, and inspirational memes. I don’t listen to voicemails - sorry not sorry!
