Hsu began her career in experimental theatre and comedy. From 2013 to 2015, Hsu made regular appearances on the MTV reality comedy series Girl Code.[5][6] She landed her first recurring television role as Joy Armstrong in the Hulu series The Path.[7]

Hsu was called in for the first table reading of The SpongeBob Musical in 2012 to read for Karen, the anthropomorphic computer.[4] She would go on to play the character on stage in Chicago in 2016 before making her Broadway debut in 2017.
