Addison spends her days going between high school and volleyball. She has been playing volleyball for four years and must deal with the constant challenges of being an athlete with type 1 diabetes. In her spare time, she enjoys participating in several clubs such as Photography and Key Club, where she gets to volunteer for different activities and organizations.

Addison enjoys speaking about her experience of living with T1D to anyone who is curious. She aspires to work in the medical field so she can help individuals as she was once helped when she was first diagnosed at the age of 4. Being diagnosed at such a young age, she knows no other life.
