She won a pewter medal in the junior ladies' event at the [2017 U.S. Championships](/source/2017_U.S._Figure_Skating_Championships). === For the United States === Ma won bronze at the [ISU Junior Grand Prix in Latvia](/source/ISU_Junior_Grand_Prix_in_Latvia) in September 2017.

In March, she competed at the [2018 World Junior Championships](/source/2018_World_Junior_Figure_Skating_Championships) in [Sofia](/source/Sofia), Bulgaria. She qualified to the final segment and finished 19th overall.

During the [2020–21 season](/source/2020%E2%80%9321_figure_skating_season), she did not travel to Taiwan for the 2020–21 Taiwanese Championships due to the [COVID-19 pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic).

She made her debut at the 2021 [Challenge Cup](/source/International_Challenge_Cup) where she won a silver medal. She placed second in the short and third in the free skate. This earned her her minimums for the [2021 World Championships](/source/2021_World_Figure_Skating_Championships), where she placed twenty-ninth. == Programs == {|class=wikitable style=text-align:center !
