My name is Addie Gassama, and I am a junior in high school from Southern California! I lovemMarine biology, horseback riding, songwriting and producing music, and visual arts (particularly theater and painting). I have grown up within an hour's drive from the nearest beach, but I have still visited and enjoyed wildlife.

I believe becoming a Water Challenge Ambassador will strengthen my environmental activist profile and help me gain experience for my future in Marine Sciences. Since being taught about environmental conservation at a young age, I have become driven to protect our planet and its water sources, especially now, when our water sources are constantly contaminated and dwindling.
