Sharon Chin
Sharon Chin is a general assignment reporter who also profiles Jefferson Award winners for KPIX CBS News Bay Area.
Since she joined KPIX in 1997, Chin has reported everything from fires to features, from politics to perspective pieces, but she feels a special sense of pride in bringing viewers the stories of Jefferson Award winners. She feels inspired as she shares the stories of our community's heroes.
Chin admits she didn't always want to be a reporter. She aspired to become a doctor, then realized she couldn't stand the sight of blood!
Just hours after she graduated from Lowell High School in San Francisco, she took an internship at an Asian American weekly newspaper and caught the news bug.
