Background
I grew up in a large family of competitive gamers, where game night was a weekly occurrence and a cherished part of my childhood. My father, a professional bridge player, has for years impressed in me the need for me to find my “forever game", the one I would never tire of. Although he tried to lure me into bridge, I knew when I found mahjong that I had found my own version of a “forever game” and more importantly, an amazing community of players who felt like family.

My love of this game and of our community has lead to my focus on growing and supporting our player base in the US and abroad. Through that focus, I have been blessed with the opportunity to step into various leadership positions locally & nationally, and I now look forward to continuing to use my skillset to assist our larger community. My goal is to promote mahjong as a game for everyone at any age and to support our players by creating and supporting opportunities for them to continue to grow as professionals.
