<p>Hi! I&rsquo;m Elizabeth, from Mashpee, Massachusetts. I designed my own major at Gettysburg College called Writing and Performing Media which focuses on both written and broadcast journalism. I am also a Spanish minor, which is why I chose to study abroad in Madrid. I am in my third year, and, while on campus, I&rsquo;m involved with cross country and track and field teams, the radio station, the newspaper and the communications and marketing office. I&rsquo;m excited to give everyone a glimpse into my four months abroad.</p>
