I'm not looking for a synonym. I'm just wondering if a female wizard has her own term or if she would simply be called a wizard. (I have a female co-worker who does her job very quickly, and I'm want to know how to describe her.) Thanks in advance.

I should have looked at Wiktionary first.

A female or a male may be called a wizard [ used to describe anyone who is very skillful]. If you wish the feminine form of the noun wizard it is witch [ a female magician, or a sorceress].
You may address you coworker as a wizard; or even better - call her a wiz or whiz ; if you call her a witch without serious solid proof of her magical abilities, many problems may be the result.

According to Dictionary.com a Wizard is:
1.One who practices magic; a sorcerer or magician.
2.A skilled or clever person: a wizard at math.
So technically yes, you can call a woman a wizard.
And a witch is a a female sorcerer or magician.

The feminine form is "wizardess", with an ending common to many occupations designate a female holding them (e.g. stewardess). But for the use you're describing, wizard works just as well.

The noun wizard is not gender specific. A wizard can be male or female.
Maybe she's a genie and wiggles her nose or blinks her eyes and poof her work is done.

Wicce, witch, enchantress, soceress. But in your case I would just say she's a whiz at her job. And wizard is not gender specific so you could use that too.
