Personal life

Emmy Ma was born on January 19, 2001, in Manhasset, New York.[1] She has an older brother, Edward, and older sister, Emily.[2] She plays violin for New England Conservatory's Youth Philharmonic Orchestra.[2] As of 2019, Ma is a student at Boston University.[3] She has spoken about dealing with an eating disorder, citing fellow skaters Gabrielle Daleman and Gracie Gold's openness about their own struggles as a reason to come forward.[3]

Career

Ma began learning to skate in 2007.[1] She won a pewter medal in the junior ladies' event at the 2017 U.S. Championships.

Ma won bronze at the ISU Junior Grand Prix in Latvia in September 2017. Making her senior international debut, she placed fifth at the 2017 CS Golden Spin of Zagreb in December. In March, she competed at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. She qualified to the final segment and finished 19th overall.

Competing in the senior ranks, Ma placed 16th at the 2018 U.S. Championships and 9th at the 2019 U.S. Championships. She switched to represent Taiwan from the 2019–20 season.

Ma won the 2019–20 Taiwanese national title, but did not compete internationally for Taiwan. During the 2020–21 season, she was set to make her international debut for Taiwan at the 2020 CS Cup of Tyrol, but the event was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
