Chan is active in performing and in teaching.  She currently teaches at the HKAPA and is ensemble manager, as well as the guzheng and konghou musician of the Hong Kong Gaudeamus Dunhuang Ensemble.  She was also a presenter of the Radio and Television Hong Kong (RTHK) Radio 4’s Next Stop is R4 – Chinese Music, a programme segment where she presented and promoted Chinese music.  Chan has collaborated and performed with various organisations, among them The Chinese University of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong City Chinese Orchestra, the Hong Kong YWCA Chinese Orchestra, and the Hong Kong Professional Zheng Artistic Ensemble.  She was elected as one of the “Young Music Makers” by the RTHK in 2015 and took part in their sound recording and television programme.  She was also one of Community Cultural Ambassadors of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department in 2013 and 2014.
