Stevie is a retired exercise physiologist with a lifelong passion for both physical and mental wellness. A dedicated advocate for healthy living, she has always believed that keeping the mind active is just as important as keeping the body moving. When she discovered mah jongg over a decade ago, she was instantly captivated by its strategic depth, social connection, and cognitive challenge.

For the past 10 years, Stevie has been playing and teaching mah jongg in her community, helping new players build confidence while promoting patience, good play, and friendly competition. Known for her clarity and enthusiasm, she teaches according to National Mah Jongg League (NMJL) rules and has helped form numerous local groups and leagues.

When she’s not at the mah jongg table, Stevie can be found on the golf course, tennis court, pickleball court, or even playing wallyball. A true believer that mind and body work best in harmony, she encourages everyone—students and friends alike—to stay active, stay curious, and keep their game strong in every sense.
