Tina Chan is a prolific poet whose writing style is a poetic puzzle for readers to determine the definitive underwriting. She has an abiding passion for writing ablaze: be it poetry or be it Yelp reviews with wittiness based on personal experiences. She believes life’s juicy sweetness is to eschew the negativity for a motivator as an inspiration outlet in her writing. With her writing, she is able to achieve closure to her life’s difficulties as the author of one’s own story.

Tina made her poetry debut in early 2009 and has been fortunate to be selected as a feature performer at various open-mikes. She recites with sprightly liveliness energy to ignite flames.
