Kelly Lescarini

Kelly is a long time board and card gamer who discovered a new passion for American Mahjong in 2025. She saw the potential for lots of fun & laughs in her community around Mahjong tables and knew she needed to start teaching. Kelly has lived in McMinnville for 20+ years with her husband David, three daughters and their two miniature schnauzers, Bear and Remington. She also loves tap dancing and clogging. You will often find her at Cannon Arts Dance Studio in Woodbury in her role there as office manager, studio dance mom and dancer.
