'NoneType' object has no attribute 'username'

I am currently working on a project that would take in a users information and store it. So far as I can tell there are no issues with storing the data, but when I try and access the user section on my admin page it gives me this error:

AttributeError at /admin/users/profile/
'NoneType' object has no attribute 'username'
Request Method: GET

There are a few other people with the same error posted, but I can't seem to make sense of their solutions. Any help or advice that would point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

models.py

class Profile(models.Model):

    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)
    image = models.ImageField(default='default.jpg', upload_to='profile_pics')
    gender = models.CharField(max_length = 1, choices = GENS, default = '')
    birthday = models.DateField(default = '1900-01-01')
    address = AddressField(on_delete=False, blank=True, null=True)
    race = models.CharField(max_length = 2, choices = RACES, default = 'x')
    ethnicity = models.CharField(max_length = 1, choices = ETHNICITIES, default = 'x')
    income = models.CharField(max_length = 1, choices = INCBRACKET, default = 'x')
    education = models.CharField(max_length = 2, choices = EDUCATION, default = 'x')
    employment = models.CharField(max_length = 1, choices = EMPLOYMENT, default = 'x')

    def __str__(self):
        return f'{self.user.username} Profile'
    def save(self, *args, **kawrgs):
        super().save(*args, **kawrgs)
        img = Image.open(self.image.path)
        if img.height > 300 or img.width > 300:
            output_size = (300, 300)
            img.thumbnail(output_size)
            img.save(self.image.path)

views.py

def PII(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = PIIForm(request.POST,)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            messages.success(request, f'Your account has been created! You are now able to log in')
            return redirect('finalpii')
    else:
        form = PIIForm(request.POST)
    return render(request, 'users/pii.html', {'form':form})

forms.py

class PIIForm(forms.ModelForm):
    birthday = forms.DateField()
    class Meta:
        model = Profile
        fields = [
        'gender',
        'birthday',
        'address',
        'race',
        'ethnicity'
        ]

admin.py

from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Profile


admin.site.register(Profile)

Since your oneToOne relation with user model can be null you may get this error sometimes. You got two options for this:

  1. Make user field null=False and use self.user 
user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE, null=True, blank=True)

Also you may need to drop database because you are making this field non nullable and there are some rows with null value in db.

  1. Before every user access check if user is not null.
if self.user:
    return f'{self.user.username}'
