I am a two-time chess champion of Albania and have played in different world tournaments such as in Europe and Canada. I got the 3rd place in the internal zonal tournament in Europe and was considered in the top 3 women in Canada based on my ELO rating.

 

I taught chess at elementary schools in Toronto, Canada (where chess is part of school curriculum), and at elementary schools in Frisco, Allen, and Plano as part of their after-school program. I am also featured and interviewed about chess for Stonebridge Magazine.  As a champion, I know what it takes to be a good chess player and how to bring the best in chess out of each student. As an instructor, I know how to bring the best curriculum and educational benefits that chess offers. I am a professional with an Economics BA and MBA degree. I have a passion for chess and enjoy sharing my love of the game with students. I am also a mom with kids who lives in McKinney and want the best for our kids and community.
