McCoy, a native of Belfry, Ky., is a second-year student pursuing a degree in Integrated Strategic Communication with a minor in Digital Media and Design at the University of Kentucky.  She will spend 14 weeks this summer as a member of SOAR team.

“We are excited to have Carlie join our team this summer as a part of the University of Kentucky Scholar Intern program,” said Joshua Ball, associate executive director of SOAR. “Carlie represents a segment of our population that is critically important in our work to create a future in Appalachia Kentucky. She’ll bring new and fresh ideas that will help us better communicate our work and the work of our partners.”

McCoy is a 2018 graduate of Belfry High School and was a recipient of the Governor’s Scholars Program. 

“Attending the University of Kentucky was a dream of mine,” said McCoy. “Coming home to the mountains after I obtain my degree is another dream. Being able to be a part of the team at SOAR is a perfect fit for me.  They are working day in and day out to bring new opportunities to the region.”
