About me

My name is María Elena Martínez. I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I live in Holland since 1989. I am a Freelance English to Spanish Literary Translator. After I graduated in 1982, I worked for a renowned translator, M.Mizrahi for several years translating books about psychology, logic, medicine, science fiction, social science, novels. Among them: "Short Stories" by Ray Bradbury; "How to win friends and influence people" by Dale Carnegie.
When I came to Holland, I worked for some time in the IT field while translating on a part-time basis. Then again, in 2004, I went back to translating on a full time basis. I have clients in Europe, Latin America, EEUU and Canada.
My fields of expertise are: Environment & Ecology, Psychology, Medicine, Biology, Science, Politics, Women & Social Development, Literature, Travel & Tourism, Computers, Software, Website Translations, Technical Translations and General Conversation.
