Hey, I’m Deena
As a kindergarten teacher turned Mahjong instructor, I discovered the magic of the game and immediately felt called to share it. What began as one casual lesson around my kitchen table quickly grew into a community of more than 500 students, monthly socials, and a vibrant, sunny gathering place for players across North County.
Teaching with heart, humor, and a deep belief that learning should always feel good has become the center of this entire journey.
