When you hire me, you get me.
Not a rotating roster. Not a student looking for pocket money. The same interpreter who quotes your job is the one at your hotel lobby on the morning it starts.
"I majored in English, and years of working with clients from every continent means I'm familiar with different English accents, wherever you're from, we'll communicate effectively. When you hire me, you get me."
Years in the room, not résumés.
My name is Selina Chen (陈丽明). I'm a freelance English-China interpreter, sourcing agent and business assistant, and I majored in English (BA English · Based in Xiamen).
I've worked trade-show floors, factory lines and committee sessions across China, the Canton Fair and Stone Fair, steel-structure works and shoe-material factories, IP-protection conferences and supplier negotiations. Real rooms, real deals, documented in my work log on the homepage.
If I'm unavailable for your dates I'll say so immediately and recommend someone I personally trust, with their direct contact. You will never be quietly handed to a subcontractor.
Booked for judgement, not just words.
Anyone with two languages can repeat a sentence. The job is catching what the supplier says to his foreman, not the version he gives you, and telling you which booth is worth your afternoon.
- A freelancer who answers her own messages and quotes in writing, in USD, within 12 hours.
- The same person from quote to factory floor, hotel-lobby pickup every morning, a written summary every evening.
- Fluent across English accents from every continent, and fluent in the room: negotiation, MOQ, lead time, the aside in Chinese you weren't meant to hear.
- Honest about availability, if your dates are taken, you'll know the same day, with a name I trust.
- Not a student looking for pocket money, and not a phrasebook with a SIM card.
- Not a rotating roster or a faceless agency that subcontracts you out after you've paid.
- Not a middleman marking up "the foreigner price", I find the factory and the real number.
- Not a stock photo. Every face on this site is a client I actually worked with.
Not a stock photo in sight.
Every face here is a client I worked with, trade-show booths, factory floors and buyer delegations across China. Real rooms, real sourcing jobs.
