Biography

Angela is a longtime chocolatier, mah jongg enthusiast, and dedicated lifelong learner. With more than 30 years of experience in chocolate making, she has shared her craft with countless people—and now brings that same joy, patience, and curiosity to the mah jongg table.

Angela has lived throughout the United States and in Mexico, experiences that shaped her love of culture, language, and connection. She currently resides in Virginia but frequently travels to Utah, where her three adult children live. Her family speaks Spanish, and one of her sons is also fluent in German, reflecting their shared appreciation for global experiences.

Married for 33 years, Angela values family, community, and continual growth. She loves dogs, enjoys teaching mah jongg, and embraces new opportunities to learn and connect with others. Because she keeps strong roots in both states, Angela will be offering Mahjongg classes in Virginia and Utah—bringing people together through the joy, strategy, and friendship the game inspires.
