About
My name is Addison Reibling, and I am a 17-year-old senior at Thaden School in Arkansas. I am passionate about the natural sciences, energy conservation, and promoting specialty courts in my community! My love for learning has been present for my whole life and is reflected through my position as a National Merit Finalist. Alongside enjoying learning, I also have a love for my community and volunteer frequently. In the future, I want to be a material scientist focusing on creating new, eco-friendly materials to help halt the climate crisis.
