Diya Maheshwari, Arts and Entertainment Editor

Diya Maheshwari is a Sophomore at South Forsyth High School, and this is her first year writing for The Bird Feed. Diya is a classically trained pianist who loves to create, play, and listen to music. When she's not on the piano bench, you can find her curled up with a good book or swimming laps for South Forsyth High’s swim team. Some of her favorite books include Six of Crows, Scythe, and Alone With You in the Ether. One of the most important things to know about Diya is that she is a huge Marvel fan. She has seen every MCU show and movie over 5 times each, so don't think about challenging her in a game of Marvel trivia! Writing for The Bird Feed this year is exciting for Diya as she loves to share the things she is passionate about while simultaneously helping others discover their passions as well! You can reach out to her via Twitter or email ([email protected]).
