I’m Erika—Mahjong enthusiast, rule follower, and your new favorite game‑night host. By day, I work in compliance for a financial services firm, which means structure, clarity, and well‑organized processes are in my DNA. By night (and weekends!), I’m diving deep into the world of mahjong and sharing everything I’ve learned with women who want a fun, social, and confidence‑building introduction to the game.

My teaching style feels like a girlfriends’ night out: relaxed, supportive, and full of laughter—just with tiles, strategy, and a little friendly competition mixed in. Even though I’m newer to the game, I’ve spent countless hours studying the rules, strategy, and flow of play, and I love breaking things down in a way that feels simple, intuitive, and empowering.

All of my instruction takes place in my dedicated Grafton studio, a warm, boutique space designed to help women learn with confidence. Every class—Mahjong 101, 102, Open and Guided Play, and League—is lead by me, ensuring a consistent teaching style, a clear pathway, and a welcoming environment you can count on week after week.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’ve always wanted to learn mahjong,” you’re in the right place.
