She is from St. Augustine, Florida and comes to HTI by way of Columbia, South Carolina. She attended the University of South Carolina and received her BS in International Business and Finance. Carter feels called to parish ministry and worked as a youth director at a large church and a pastoral assistant at a campus ministry before moving up north for seminary. She has a passion for Latinx culture and speaking Spanish (and attempting to speak Portuguese!) with others brings her joy! Her most spiritually trans-formative international experience was on a mission trip to the border between Douglas, Arizona and Agua Prieta, Sonora, Mexico, where she learned about the immigration process firsthand and saw God working through the lives of missionaries and refugees on the border. Carter feels extraordinarily lucky to be a member of the HTI familia and feels God’s presence in her life at Princeton and HTI.
