Biography

Jennifer Peterson is the founder of Delmarva Mahjong and an American mahjong instructor. Based in Berlin, MD she serves students throughout the Eastern Shore of Maryland, Delaware, and beyond.   A licensed professional counselor and former educator, Jennifer brings years of experience helping people develop new skills in a supportive, encouraging environment.

She specializes in teaching beginners through organized, hands-on lessons designed to make American mahjong approachable, engaging, and enjoyable.
