Kara Chin is a video producer who specializes in narrative video storytelling. She excels at finding compelling subjects, filming stunning visuals, pulling the best soundbites, and capturing intimate off-camera moments. She's a New Yorker who took a detour to live and work in China, where she began pursuing a career in journalism. She enjoys following wherever a story leads, especially if it uplifts underrepresented voices. In her spare time, she’s planning her next surf trip but doesn't know which of her cameras to bring.
She previously worked at Insider (formerly Business Insider) and Fortune. She has published work at The New York Times, FiveThirtyEight, Advertising Age, and Gothamist. She completed her masters in journalism at Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, where she serves on the Alumni Board.
