"Chess is not only knowledge and logic". Alexander Alekhine
continuing the brilliant quote of The 4th World Chess Champion.... chess is fun, chess is friends, chess is community!
After completing my MA in Social and Economic studies in Vienna, Austria, and Ph.D. in Economics, I worked for major financial and biotech companies all over the world for years. I enjoy working with the people of different cultures and backgrounds. I am a frequent volunteer: I am always "at home" @ the BAC major tournaments. I am a mother to the two "Irish twins", who are now in college. My both kid fell love with chess at their young age. They traveled Internationally to compete and represent US Chess. All grown up, they are now enthusiastic and successful college students and experienced US Chess Tournament Directors.
This said, I am proud to be a part of Bay Area Chess community and help Transform Lives Through Chess along with my highly-professional, hard-working colleagues @ BAC!
