Early life and education Chin grew up in Denver, Colorado and studied broadcasting at the University of Colorado Boulder. At the end of the 2019-20 season, Chin was laid off from her role as sideline reporter, igniting an online petition with over 1600 signatures to re-hire her. She returned to Celtics for the 2020–21 season after Kyle Draper left to become the play-by-play announcer for the Sacramento Kings.

In March 2025, Chin was joined by sportswriter Jackie MacMullan and Connecticut Sun player Diamond DeShields for the second-ever all-female Celtics telecast in celebration of Women's History Month.
