+{{course_planning:sage.jpg?300}}
+**Major**: I am currently a sophomore studying toward an undergraduate physics degree, and I plan on continuing onwards to graduate school where I plan to study nuclear physics
+**Future plans**: I hope to either work at a university researching with a particle accelerator or to work with a team researching nuclear fusion as a viable power source.
+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Teamwork, teamwork, teamwork! Find your strengths, and play to them. But most importantly listen to your teammates strengths and let them showcase their strengths too. This course is an adventure for a party, not for a solo physicist.
+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Come to the help room! Other than that, don’t ever be afraid to ask for help, use your resources, or even ask for help finding any resources. Your Professor, TA, and other ULAS are all great resources. We all want you to succeed.

+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Focus on your progress instead of results. It’s much better to take your time and try out new roles in the group, or coding, even if you’re not entirely comfortable with it. Be there for your teammates and let them be there for you!
+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Utilize all the resources that you have in this course: your teammates, your ULA, other ULAs, especially the help room. Also, when you’re solving a problem, try to answer the “why” component to each step you’re doing.

+{{course_planning:kus.jpg?300}}
+**Major**: Physics

+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Write down everything. Draw diagrams. Take advantage of the group setting. Have discussions, and don't be afraid to state your own opinion and understanding of something even if you think it might be incorrect. It's easy to get lost in the sauce when working on problems, so make sure to take good notes before you come to class as they will be your best friend.
+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Help Room is such a chill environment to discuss concepts you’re struggling with or even to just sit and do your LON-CAPA work. Make sure to get all your group members’ contacts! They were always my go-to, even prior group members. You will have a day or two where you didn't take notes beforehand, so you get overwhelmed during class. No worries, just be honest with your groupmates (they will be understanding) and come to the help room while the problem is still fresh in your mind. Talking about it makes all the difference.
+**Fun fact about me** I named my cat Meow Meow, not because I’m not creative but because he talks SO MUCH. It’s also the only name he responds to :) Ask me for pics of him you will make my day.

+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Actively participate in class! It's so much easier to study later and ensure you understand the topic when you actively try to problem solve in a low-risk environment.
+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Attend a help room! Once you run through a problem step-by-step, you understand the concept behind it and what approaches to use in the future.

+**Degrees**: BS degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Physics; MS in Physics Education
+**Research/Interest Area**: Teaching Physics
+**What excites you about physics**: That physics helps me to understand the universe and the world around me.  I love learning new things about how physics applies to other areas of interest, particularly from the students in my classes about their areas of interest.
+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Read the lecture notes and watch the linked videos to prepare you to complete the pre-class homework.  Instead of trying to rush through an in-class problem, your focus should be on the process you follow as you work through them.   How you work through and connect the concepts is more important than your group finishing the problem.   After the first class meeting of each week, get started on the post-class homework – don’t wait until the last minute.  While there is an individual-only component to the class (our exams), most of it is group-focused in the case of our in-class problems and projects; or homework where you can collaborate with your fellow students and course staff on your personalized assignments.    Use the lecture notes and pre-class homework to prepare you for our in-class problems; the in-class problems help to prepare you for group projects, the post-class homework, and the individual exams; the post-course homework helps to solidify your understanding of the week’s work and better prepare you for the individual exams.
+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?** Talk to me or schedule an appointment to talk to me.  You also ha LAs in the class who have taken the course in the recent past and have been in your position.  They can offer good, constructive advice on how to approach and overcome particular struggles.  Take advantage of all of the resources available to you.  In addition to the course notes and videos, you have the help room, D2L discussion boards, your group mates, and your fellow students from other groups available to you.   If you find yourself grappling with a concept, don’t delay seeking help through these resources.    Questions you bring to the help room or the Piazza discussion can go beyond the current homework.   Use these forums to ask about any concepts from the class, the in-class problems, the lecture notes, or any previous homework assignments you wish to review.
+**Fun fact about me:** I like to bike, cook and taking my dog Reo on long walks (or does he walk me?).   Each of the past couple of summers, I rode my mountain bike for 100 miles in a day and hope to do this again this August.
