For years, I wanted to learn American Mahjong but couldn’t find anyone to teach me. No classes. No teachers. No cool aunt with a spare rack. So I did what any mildly unhinged overachiever would do: I figured it out myself.

My toxic trait? I don’t dabble. When I get into something, I go all in.
So when I decided I had to learn American Mahjong, I didn’t just dabble—I went full-tilt tile nerd. After finally learning, … I immediately wanted to know everything.

That rabbit hole led me to training with Mahjong Molly, followed by teacher certification through Oh My Mahjong. And while I’ll always be learning (that’s half the fun), I’ve built a lesson series I’m genuinely proud of—designed to help you learn fast, feel confident, and get just as obsessed as I am.

I’ve taught college-level courses at Indiana University (media advertising, campaign management, leadership development — casual). I’ve led over 1,000 SPIN and group fitness classes. I currently work full-time in marketing for one of the top wineries in the U.S. Essentially, I love helping people learn new and interesting things and feel confident doing them.

Oh, and I build communities. Before COVID, I ran a legit book club with more than 60 women—we even Zoomed with authors. I’ve always believed that gathering people—around good stories, good games, or good wine—is where the magic happens. Bringing people together is my superpower.

Now I’m channeling that energy into Mahjong: teaching it, celebrating it, and I can’t wait to meet all the new players who will obviously become just as obsessed as I am.. Whether you're brand new or just need a reason to yell “MAHJONG!” with your whole chest, I’ve got you.

Let’s bloom, baby. 🌸
