Meet the Team
Victoria Bailey
Founder, OMM Certified Instructor
Victoria founded Emerald Coast Mahjong to connect women and create a welcoming space where anyone can learn and enjoy the game. At its heart, mahjong brings people together — fostering conversation, confidence, and meaningful connection around a beautifully set table.
Rooted in her southern upbringing, Victoria learned the art of hosting from her grandmothers, who always welcomed others with open arms and a seat at the table. Gathering wasn’t just tradition — it was a way of life. She grew up playing Rummikub with her grandparents, and years later, discovering mahjong brought her back to those cherished memories of laughter, strategy, and connection across generations.
Emerald Coast Mahjong blends the timeless tradition of mah-jongg with Southern coastal living, featuring thoughtfully curated tablescapes and the charm of gracious hosting that makes every gathering feel special.
As an instructor, Victoria breaks the game down into simple, manageable steps that build both confidence and strategy. Her teaching style is structured yet warm, ensuring every player leaves empowered and ready to play independently.
Through private lessons, group instruction, and curated events along the Emerald Coast, she is cultivating a community where beginners feel comfortable, seasoned players feel challenged, and every guest feels invited back to the table.
