Caroline Breslin
Finance, Management | Copenhagen, Denmark | DIS Business

Hi! I am Caroline Breslin, a senior Finance and Management major, and I studied abroad in the Fall of my junior year in Copenhagen, Denmark, my favorite city in the world. On campus, including SAM, I am a Women’s Club Lacrosse team captain, a member of Love Your Melon, and an Orientation Leader. My favorite topic to talk about is all things Copenhagen and abroad. I would love to answer your questions about the city or studying abroad in general: from packing lists to city guides and nerves before you leave. I look forward to chatting!! Picture below one of my fav activities in Cope, GoBoat, where you rent out a boat with your friends and can drive yourself around the canal.

Kathleen Gorman
Marketing | London, England | CEA CAPA London Internship

Hello! My name is Kathleen Gorman and I am a Senior Marketing Major, Writing Minor. I studied in London in Fall 2022 through CEA CAPA’s London Global Cities Internship Program, and it was such an amazing experience! While in London, I was a Marketing and Data Insights Intern at Snack Media and was able to work on the advertising and different social media work for the World Cup. When not in class or at my internship, I loved exploring the city of London by visiting all the different shops and markets, trying new foods, and taking the tube! I found the city very easy to navigate and miss my time there every single day. I am excited to share my study abroad experiences with prospective students and offer help in any way that I can!

Ana Martinez Vargas
Political Science, Global Studies | London, England | CIV in London (IES)

Hi! My name is Ana Martinez, I am a Political Science and Global Studies double major with a minor in writing. On campus, you can often find me working at McPhail’s as my work-study, and I am currently getting involved in the new PC cooking club! I studied abroad in London, England, with the Civ in London program for the Spring semester of my sophomore year. During the Semester, we visited Athens, Greece, and Brussels, Belgium, as part of the program! I loved my time in London so much; I visited many places in the city alone and with friends, so my list of recommendations is very hefty if you would like any! I can also talk to you about Scholarship opportunities and budgeting tips while in the city. I like to believe I have mastered the art of packing, so I have many tips for that as well!  Some of my favorite places in the city were the West End, Gails (cafe), and the Colombia Road Flower Market.

Emily Lemkuil
Marketing | Paris, France | CEA CAPA Liberal Arts and French Studies

Hi! My name is Emily Lemkuil, and I am a senior Marketing major. I studied abroad in Paris, France, in the fall of my junior year (2022). I decided to study abroad in Paris because I love fashion! Besides being a SAM, I am the Fashion Society’s President, a PCSB mentor, and in Women in Business. I had an unconventional study abroad experience since I went alone and had an internship, but I wouldn’t change a thing about my experience! I met people I now call my best friends and learned more about the fashion industry. If you have any questions about Paris, going to a country alone, having an internship abroad, or anything else, please don’t hesitate to reach out!

Abigail Brockway
Elementary and Special Education | Florence, Italy | Education Practicum in Florence

Hello! My name is Abigail Brockway and I am a Senior Elementary and Special Education major and History minor. I studied in Florence, Italy during the Fall semester of my junior year, and I attended classes at Florence University of the Arts, located right in the historical city center. The Florence Program, sponsored by Fairfield University, features a student teaching component. I spent eleven weeks in an Italian elementary school teaching basic English to 4th grade students while also navigating the public tram system to and from work every Thursday. Studying abroad taught me invaluable independence skills and gave me the opportunity to venture out of my comfort zone. My best Florence memories include the breathtaking strolls to class past the facade of the Santa Maria Novella, late night walks to “My Sugar” to devour frutti di bosco gelato, and watching the sun set from the Piazzale Michelangelo.

Mazie Goscinak
Finance, Marketing | Rome, Italy | CEA CAPA PC in Rome

My name is Mazie Goscinak and I am a rising senior. I am from Saugus, MA and I have a double major in finance and marketing. I studied abroad through the PC in Rome program in the fall of 2022, which was an amazing experience. During my time in Rome, I was able to take various business classes such as international marketing and business consulting which gave me firsthand experience in seeing how businesses operate in other countries. While I was not in class, I explored the city, with my apartment being a just a walking distance from popular areas such as The Vatican and The Trevi Fountain, I found it easy to navigate the new city and take in all the history Rome had to offer. I also enjoyed trying out new restaurants and gelatarias with my roommates every week. PC in Rome had almost one hundred Providence students in the program. I was able to meet so many new students that I had never met on campus. PC in Rome had so much to offer students, and I felt that this program made the transition from home to abroad easy. I also traveled to eight different countries during my time abroad. On campus, I am also the Vice President of PC’s American Marketing Association.

Madison Liberatore
Elementary and Special Education | Florence, Italy | Education Practicum in Florence

Hi everyone! My name is Madison Liberatore and I’m from Westbrook, CT. I am a senior at PC studying Elementary and Special Education. I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy during the fall of my junior year. The main focus of my time there was to teach English as a Second Language to Elementary Italian students. Although it came with obstacles, my time there was something I will never forget! Studying abroad allowed me to gain confidence in myself and a sense of newfound independence. Some of my favorite memories from Florence include trying all the cuisine, like pasta carbonara (my favorite!), sunsets from the Piazzale Michelangelo, and getting to know the locals on our street. I am so excited to share my experiences and offer any help I can! Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
