Hey y’all! My name is Karson Van Scoyoc and I am a senior at UNC-Chapel Hill. I am a Neuroscience major on the pre-dental track. This past summer I spent my time shadowing, working as a dental intern, and applying to dental school. I also made some time for relaxing and having fun too though! Some of my favorite activities include playing guitar, snowboarding, hiking, cooking, and spending time with friends and family.

Kenya
This past summer my favorite moments happened while I was on a trip with my family in Kenya. During this time, I had the incredible opportunity to spend about a week out on safari observing all kinds of wonderful animal sightings. I enjoy doing a little photography in my free time (I also used to video for the UNC football team), so I brought my camera with me on the trip and was able to snag some of the best pictures I’ve taken in my life.

Friends
I also spent some quality time with my friends and girlfriend this past summer. The picture on the left was taken with some of my friends at the Willie Nelson and Bob Dylan concert in July. On the right is my girlfriend, EC, and I while on a trip to Michigan to visit my grandparents. This specific moment was when we went to our first ever fish boil… It sounds gross, I know, but it was actually one of our favorite meals of the whole trip, trust.

Hobbies
As I mentioned in my intro, I love the outdoors and some of my favorite things to do are snowboarding and hiking. Pictured in the first row is me on a few different ski trips out west with my brother (he just started his freshman year at UNC!). The rest of the pictures are from my most recent hiking trip that I did over the summer with my friends. It was my first time ever backpacking in the Grayson Highlands and I can’t wait to go back. If you’re a fan of hiking I 10/10 recommend this trail which we did with an overnight stay on Mt. Rogers. You can find the exact route we took here on AllTrails.
