Natasha Alva is currently a chemical engineering student who enjoys writing poems. Poetry became an unexpected hobby for her as she discovered it during the pandemic as a way to relieve stress from schoolwork and express bottled feelings. Through poetry, she gets to write stories and hopefully inspire people to appreciate literature in the form of writing.

You can connect with Natasha on Instagram at @theburiedpages where she posts her poems. Some of her poems are currently featured in the Balm 2: Poetry for Beautifully Broken Souls and Magkasintahan 2.0 Volume VII.
