Chen first appears in the season 18 premiere as Dr. Michelle Lin, a plastic surgeon Richard and Bailey interview to replace Jackson Avery as the head of plastics at Grey Sloan. Although she's initially hesitant, saying the hospital's residents aren't up to the level she needs, she agrees to take the job if Richard gets the residents into shape. Variety reported that Chen has also been promoted to a recurring role.
Viewers might recognise Chen from her recurring role as Mimi on Shameless. She's also guest-starred on numerous shows, including Fear the Walking Dead and Silicon Valley. She recently directed, wrote, and starred in the 2020 indie film I Will Make You Mine.
