Lizzy's Video

Elizabeth “Lizzy” Mottola has a passion for medicine and a goal to attend medical school. She decided that her first major step toward achieving her dream would be to earn her public health degree at Coastal Carolina University. With one semester as a Chanticleer in the books, her college career is off to a great start.

Lizzy points to the “diversity and different opportunities” offered at Coastal for her successful first semester. She also says that meeting a group of new friends also made her CCU debut a memorable one. Lizzy’s love for medicine comes from its “expanding and growing” nature but she has other interests too. Writing, reading and listening to music are all hobbies that she enjoys partaking in, sometimes alone. Although she has met many new people since arriving on campus, she never takes for granted the opportunity to spend a few moments in solitude.

If nothing else, remember this about Lizzy: she is compassionate. If she can boost the mood of someone who is having a bad day, she will do whatever it takes, even to the point of absorbing the other person’s pain. We are thrilled that Lizzy’s Chanticleer journey is just beginning.
