Simone Starbird is an 18-year-old senior at Ashland High School. Even with the stress of school, she still finds time to relax and do the things she loves. Cooking, reading, and playing music are only a few of the hobbies Starbird does in her free time. She also loves to play guitar and piano. She’s self-taught and describes herself as enjoying these instruments more for the relaxation rather than to be good at playing them.

Starbird loves the rain and hopes in the future to be living somewhere much bigger than Ashland, preferably somewhere without smoke and with a lot of rainy weather. She likes the idea of living in Boston, and her favorite vacation spot from previous years was her trip to Washington D.C. No matter what Starbird does, her relaxed mindset will take her far in life allowing her to find a balance in work and play.
