 **Major**:

 **Future plans**:
-I want to get my MBA but until then take it one day at a time.
+I would like to locate a cause for idiopathic (unknown cause) scoliosis. Currently I am working on developing a new non-surgical technique for treating scoliosis.
 **Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**:
-HELPROOM! We want you to do well as much as you do so come to help room and we can work through it together
+If you study hard in the beginning, it will make everything much easier towards the end. Additionally, pay attention to coding problems. On the test, it helps when you have an idea of what you are looking at. The in-class problems will be very helpful for thinking about coding in a physics setting.
 **What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**
-Or you can use outside resources like YouTube to help breakdown some of the concepts that you struggle with
+I highly recommend the help room. The help room helped me understand some essential physics concepts. If you are willing to put in the work, the help room can make a good grade very achievable. Grades aside, it is super cool to understand what you are doing! When I did not have a clue, the help room put everything into perspective.
 **Fun fact about me**
-I had a bear encounter in the woods
+A fun fact… Once I played on a randomly assembled basketball team—composed of sixth graders. I was the last kid to show up to the first practice. When the other kids saw me, they all started screaming, “What’s your name?”. When I said Joshua, they all started screaming. Shortly after, I learned that every person on my new team was named Joshua.

 **Major**: Computer Science
-**Future plans**: Figuring out how I want to do CS and sustainable tourism together.
+**Future plans**: I want to make AI and computer algorithms more equitable and less biased against marginalized groups.
+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Do the readings and actively participate in class. If you can do the harder in-class problems with your group in class, you can study from those and then replicate similar concepts on the exams.
-**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?**: I think nothing is more helpful than the help room! Whether it is help on homework or questions on an in-class problem, the help room gives you a chance to sit down with classmates and LAs who can give you a step-by-step explanation and way forward with both that specific problem and the concept as a whole.
-**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.
+**Fun fact about me**: During the summer I work as a camp counselor at a camp that runs outdoor trips. This past summer I helped lead a bunch of 14 year olds a sea kayaking trip at Lake Superior Provincial Park and then led a 115-mile backpacking trip around Isle Royale!
-**Fun fact about me**: I’ve been to 11 countries before, including one which I’ve only reached 20 meters from the land border. The wildebeests witnessed it, so I think that counts.

-**Major**: PhD in physics
+**Research Area**: High Energy Physics
-**Future plans**: Work in a national lab in physics research and learn about how to farm with draft horses in my off time
+**Description of Research**: One of the many goals in high-energy physics is to look at the subatomic world and describe what matter is made of. The ATLAS group, where I would like to do research, is involved in one of the detectors of the LHC at CERN, where protons or ions are brought into collision. By tracking the different particles after these collisions, you study the elementary particles and even hope to find new physics.
-**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed:** Embrace the community,you are the secret sauce that makes this class great.  Come visit us in the helproom we are here to help. When you're reading the preclass notes, write down the concepts that you had trouble with and bring it to class to talk about with your peers and ULA.
+**What excites you about physics**: What excites me most about physics is that you learn new concepts every day. The more you think you know, the more you realize that this is not true. And it also helps you to better understand the world around you.
+**What do you recommend if you're struggling in class?**: Try to keep up with your homework and don't wait too long if you realize you're struggling. The first step I would recommend is to ask your group members for help. Furthermore, don't hesitate to use all the other resources such as LAs, TAs, Office Horus, Helproom and the various forums to ask questions.
-**Fun fact about me** I have 4 awesome kids and a husband that love to drive horses and wagons as much as I do and I was in the navy for almost 9 years
+**Fun fact about me** I'm really bad at orientation, I once even managed to get lost with one of my friends on a school trip because we took a different route to the others. So, if you see me, never ask me for directions. My best support in this regard is Google Maps. What's more is that I play the piano and enjoy taking horse riding lessons.

+**Section**: 4
+**Major**: PhD in physics
+**Future plans**: Becoming a professor and or making a career out of nuclear physics research
+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed:**  Write things out and organize your thoughts and information in a way that flows for you. If you haven't tried it much, try writing things in variable form and see the broader relationships between the things present in the expression! If you don't know if an answer makes sense, compare it to something you do know and see if the units work out. Order of magnitude estimates and unit checks are your friend!
+**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Go to office hours or the help room! Either are great options that will save you a lot of head racking all while being a great way to establish connections with your peers and physics faculty. Finding help does not make you a lesser student, but rather shows that you know how to use your time efficiently and utilize the resources available to you to learn. Be patient with yourself. Physics can be hard, and it took hundreds of years for humans to collectively figure this stuff out. You are learning it in a few months.
+**Fun fact about me**: I have lived in 8 states!
