While she wishes she had a league like BKCL that would have taught her this beautiful game at a young age, she is grateful for the opportunity to have provided this connection for others. She joined the Baltimore Kids Chess League in 2008 as a coach at Baltimore Montessori Public Charter School. Starting with a team full of novices, she developed the program and brought the team to Supernationals in 2013, winning a top 20 team trophy in their section. She continued coaching in 2 other programs around the city before joining the league as assistant director. She became executive director in 2020. She is passionate about hearing the students\u2019 stories and learning about their journey into chess.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6a028f
