Ivy Ma was born and raised in San Jose California. She moved up to Oregon at the start of 2018 with all her belongings and her two cats all in one car.

With her free time she enjoys hiking, camping, going to minor league baseball games, and helping her boyfriend with his BBQ business. She also loves reading books and watercoloring on days in. Like many die hard Harry Potter fans, one of her accomplishments is finishing the Harry Potter books within a day or two of their original releases.

She graduated from University of California, Riverside with a Psychology degree. During her time at UCR, she was a member of the badminton club as well as the treasurer. She aspires to one day be a veterinarian who specializes in large animals and is currently enrolled at OSU for animal science. She hopes to have a farm one day to let rescue animals roam free.
