Hello, my name is Vicky Carrillo.
I have been an English-Spanish translator for 13 years and I have a rate of 18 Australian dollars per 1000 words ($0.018 per word). I don't use Google Translate or anything like it as I personally translate everything and my business partner, a Venezuelan journalist, proofreads my work.
As for my skills and experience, I am completely bilingual. I was born in Venezuela from a Latin family, grew up and attended school in the US, and later graduated as an Engineer from a Venezuelan University. I started translating when I was 15 for my mother, who’s also a translator and later got a job as a written translator and interpreter for PDVSA (Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A.), the biggest state-owned company in Venezuela.
I am open to Skype calls and any tests that you'd like me to take and I have uploaded some of my work to my profile. If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you for your consideration!
