Hi, I'm Julie Lin-Friss

Hi! I’m Julie! So glad you found me! Mahjong has been a huge part of my life for as long as I remember, and sharing it with others is one of my greatest joys!

Mahjong has always meant more to me than just a game. It’s about family, friendship, laughter, community and gathering around a table. From playing Chinese Mahjong with my family as a child to discovering American Mah-Jongg years later, each version has added new meaning and new connections in my life. I hope this class becomes a place where you feel welcome, curious, and excited to play.
