Meet Shanna

Hi, I'm Shanna Gottlieb! Fourth-generation Mahjong lover, wife, mom of three, and proud owner of Keep Mahjing On, where I'm out to prove Mahjong is so much more than a game. Fueled by caffeine, community, craks, and chaos (in that order), I make American Mahjong feel approachable, exciting, and just the right amount of addictive.

“You will love making order out of chaos.” That's how Shanna sold me on learning Mahjong โ€” and she was absolutely right! I took her 3-lesson series a few months ago and now I'm totally mahj-obsessed. Shanna has a true gift for breaking down the game in a way that feels clear and approachable, never overwhelming. She's a phenomenal teacher, and her open play and fundraising events are genuinely so much fun. If you're even thinking about learning Mahjong, do it โ€” and let Shanna be the one to teach you. You'll be instantly hooked!
