Growing up, Chan had a knack for figure skating and participated in both national and international events. She was so good that she got ranked as one of the best skaters in singles and pairs across the US.

At a young age, Liberte Chan knew she wanted to enter the world of journalism, but she was a shy girl and was terrified of speaking to a crowd. She once remarked that she could easily skate in front of hundreds but could not do it if she had to talk. However, she overcame that fear and began her education with her end goal in sight.

Liberte Chan took her education seriously from the beginning. She attended the Marlborough School for Girls— a secondary preparatory school in Los Angeles, graduating in 1998. From there, Chan attended the University of Massachusetts Amherst, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism. She studied abroad at the Sorbonne in Paris during her last semester at UMA.

From Mississippi State University, she got her degree in meteorology. The talented journalist also has a degree in broadcast journalism, which she obtained from the University of California, Los Angeles.

After leaving KTLA, she worked with KKFX-TV. Chan was a Central Coast reporter for two years, from 2006 to 2008. During her time with the channel, she received recognition for her work from then-California Governor Jerry Brown. The accolade was for her report on the Santa Barbara County Probation Department.

Following her state recognition as a reporter, Liberte Chan sought greener pastures with a move to KMIR-TV, where she began working as a weekday morning news anchor. She spent two years working for the station before she returned to KTLA.
