Chia started her career as a child actress with SBC.[1] She later joined TCS (predecessor of MediaCorp) after finishing her school. In 2000 she switched to SPH MediaWorks but was transferred back to MediaCorp when it absorbed MediaWorks.[2] In May 2012, Chia left the entertainment industry due to the expiry of her contract with MediaCorp. She had declined to renew it, stating that she wanted to temporarily "take a break" from showbiz.[3]

In a 2018 interview with 8 Days, Chia revealed that she made investments into businesses while she was acting full-time, and was a partner of Monsoon Hair Salon and owned an investment firm.[4][5]

In May 2009, Chia and Shaun Chen was married, after dating for six years.[6] On 28 April 2011, it was revealed that the couple was filing for divorce due to "personality differences".[7] The divorce proceedings were finalised in October 2011.[7]
