 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. A fun fact… Once I played on a randomly assembled basketball team—composed of sixth graders.

 +**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: Plan and visualize problems to solve them faster. Get to know your group, actively participate, listen, and contribute to discussions. Engaging with teammates helps you understand concepts better. And remember, teamwork makes the dream work!"

 +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?**: Make sure to stay on top of your homework, as it's crucial for understanding difficult concepts. Engage your group members for help, and more so take advantage of office hours and help rooms. Do not fall behind, use all these resources to your advantage to stay on track.

-**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. 
 + 
 +**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.
  
-**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 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.

-**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 excites you about physics**: Having the tools to understand why things happen–like why the pitch gets higher and higher as you fill up your water bottle.
  
-**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.+**Advice on how to approach P-Cubed**: In order to practice physics, you and your group will have to risk sharing ideas you aren’t sure about–be kind to others and yourself
  
-  +**What do you recommend doing if you are struggling in class?** Help room is a great resource, if you're struggling or if you're just not sure. When I took introductory E&M, I went to office hours 3-5 times a week.
