Biography

Laura is a seasonal resident of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, and The Villages, Florida, with a strong passion for American mah jongg, particularly the rules, etiquette, and strategic depth of the game. She believes that building a strong foundation through proper instruction is essential for developing confidence and advancing skill at the table. Her teaching emphasizes National Mah Jongg League rules, card interpretation, and the strategic habits that help players grow.

Laura has taught new and beginner players across multiple communities and has helped establish weekly mah jongg groups in Naples, The Villages, Baltimore, and Nantucket. In 2023, she founded the popular Facebook community Nantucket Mahjong Players to help players on the island connect, find games, form groups, and meet the growing demand for play. Laura is passionate about creating opportunities for players to learn, connect, and enjoy the game in welcoming, well-organized communities.
