Hello, my name is Angela Nelson, and I have been playing American Mahjong for more than 10 years. My enthusiasm for the game has only grown with time. What began as a filling-in position quickly became a passion — one I now love sharing with others. Over the years, I have taught numerous new players who continue to enjoy the game today.

Mahjong has traveled with me far beyond the classroom. I have played on multiple vacations, discovering how the game brings people together no matter where they are. These experiences have shaped my belief that Mahjong is more than a game — it’s a social connector, a mental workout, and a joyful tradition worth passing on. In my classes, I focus on creating a relaxed, supportive environment where beginners feel comfortable learning at their own pace. I look forward to welcoming new players and sharing the game that has brought me so much enjoyment over the years.
