Career
Ma began skating in 2005.[1] As a child, she was taught by Haijun Gao.[2]
2013–14 season
Ma began appearing on the junior international level in the 2013–14 season. After placing fifth at the Asian Trophy, she debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) series, placing 6th in Gdańsk, Poland, in September 2013. She appeared at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, but her 36th place in the short program was insufficient to advance to the free skate. She trained under Tammy Gambill in Riverside, California until the end of the season.[2]
2014–15 season
In the 2014–15 season, Ma was coached by Rafael Arutyunyan and Nadia Kanaeva in California.[3] Ranked 41st in the short, she missed the cut for the free skate at the 2014 World Junior Championships in Tallinn, Estonia.
2015–16 season
In the 2015–16 season, Ma joined Christine Krall and Damon Allen in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[1] Making her senior international debut, she finished 11th at the U.S. International Classic, a Challenger Series (CS) event in September 2015. In January 2016, she won the senior silver medal at the Reykjavík International Games. In February, she competed at her first senior ISU Championship, placing 20th in the short, 19th in the free, and 19th overall at the 2016 Four Continents in Taipei, Taiwan. At the 2016 World Junior Championships in Debrecen, Hungary, she qualified for the final segment by placing 11th in the short and went on to finish 15th overall.
