Instead, she took up a course in broadcasting, hoping to gain a future career in the field, despite not being an actual athlete.
Broadcasting Career
During Chin’s time in Colorado, she had her first broadcasting experience when she worked for UPN 20 Denver as a sideline reporter. The Denver based television station holds broadcast rights to National Football League (NFL) exhibition games which feature the local team, the Denver Broncos, and was also the local broadcast home of the National Basketball Association (NBA) team, the Denver Nuggets. Other teams it has broadcast include the National Hockey League (NHL) team the Colorado Avalanche, and the Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise, the Colorado Rockies.
Aside from her work there, she also interned at the newspaper called The Coloradoan, a daily newspaper based in Fort Collins.

She also worked for the AM radio station KOA which focuses on a news and talk radio format, and is nicknamed the Blowtorch of the West. Another radio station she worked for was the AM KDSP, which is known as The Voice of Broncos Country. The station is primarily covering the Denver Broncos and the University of Colorado basketball games.
Work With CSNNE

She initially joined the network as a Chevrolet SportsNet Central reporter and anchor, but a year later she began covering the NBA team, the Boston Celtics as a sideline reporter.
Her experience with the NBA led her to the job, as she had previously reported live on the Portland Trail Blazers, and she’d also had experience covering Pac-12 football for another station. In 2018, she made her Winter Olympics debut as a part of NBC team, where she reported on the ski jumping event. She continues to work as a Boston Celtics sideline reporter during the regular season, and has also worked with other NBC affiliates, and done production work in other programs, often travelling to other areas of the country to cover sports events.
