ADDIE GONZALES
Addie was born and raised in Bakersfield, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from California State University, Bakersfield in 2023. Her education and volunteer opportunities have fueled her desire to be a voice for the vulnerable. Driven by a deep passion to serve others and uplift those facing adversity, she is committed to making a meaningful impact within the local foster care community. Central to her care for others is her faith. She believes that every individual is made in the image of God, and therefore possesses inherent dignity, value, and worth. This conviction shapes not only how she views others, but how she serves them—with compassion, respect, and an unwavering belief in their potential. Whether through hands-on support, advocacy, or community engagement, she strives to be a source of hope and encouragement to children and families experiencing foster care. She is thankful to be part of the Bakersfield Angels team that is creating lasting change in Bakersfield—where foster families and youth are seen, heard, and given the opportunity to thrive. In her free time, she enjoys traveling, hiking, running, experimenting in the kitchen, and spending quality time with family and friends. |
