Notes: Your one-stop shop for all things Mahjong instruction! I’m based in beautiful Newport Beach, California, but my roots run deep in the heart of Minnesota. I’m married and have two incredible teenage boys. I fell head over heels in love with Mahjong and have been teaching for over a year — and I bring the same joy and enthusiasm to every single lesson! I believe learning should be fun, welcoming, and full of celebration. One of my favorite things is making sure everyone walks away having won at least one game — because that feeling of success is what keeps you coming back for more! My goal is to build a vibrant, welcoming Mahjong community here in Southern California — where we play together consistently and sprinkle Mahjong knowledge like confetti wherever we go. I’m a huge advocate for lifelong learning, and my door is always open. Never hesitate to reach out with questions — no matter how big or small! When I’m not playing or teaching Mahjong, I love spending time with my family, traveling, and embracing the joy that comes from meaningful connection and play.

Notes: I teach Chinese Mahjong (not the American version that uses an annual card). I teach 4 different classes: - Intro (covers the basics and gets you playing) - Scoring (adds a deeper level of strategy to the game and reveals that not all sets of tiles have the same value) - Settling the Score (allows you to compare your score to other players) - Limit Hands and Winning Strategies (special high point value hands and strategies to win)
