Ahn grew up in Pasadena, California.[2] She is of Korean descent.[2] She was involved in dance and theater at college at Yale University, where she graduated in 2003.[2][3] She received her MFA in acting from the California Institute of the Arts in 2006.[4]
In New York theater, Ahn made her Broadway debut in a short-lived revival of The Heidi Chronicles opposite Elisabeth Moss in February–May 2015.[2][5] She starred off-Broadway in Rajiv Joseph's Letters of Suresh at the Tony Kiser Theater in September–October 2021. A Times review said that her "messy charisma" elevated the play's letter-writing conceit.[6][7]
In television, Ahn played recurring characters in series such as Billions (2016–2018) and Orange Is the New Black (2018).[6] She played biotechnology company CEO Suzanne Wu on the Netflix superhero show Raising Dion (2019–2022), a role that was promoted to series regular in season two.[8] She played another Netflix main role, Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) station chief Eidra Park, in the drama series The Diplomat (2023–present).[9] She is set to appear in the Disney+ superhero show Agatha All Along.[10]
