About
My name is Simone Stanish and for the past 18 years of my life I’ve been living in the small town of Seldovia, Alaska. Seldovia redefines what it means to live in a small town, with about 250 residents. These people have taught me kindness, compassion, creativity, and most importantly the ability to keep moving forward. In fall of 2023 I will be attending Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. There I will pursue my love of art, hoping to major in graphic design.
