I’ve spent the majority of my life searching for who I am and whose I am. After many twists and turns, detours and dives, peaks and pivots, I’m grateful for this season of my life where I get to live in the fullness of who I am. And I am also incredibly thankful this fullness overflows into every aspect of my life.

During most days and months of the year, my overflow looks like engaging in dialogue with eager and inquisitive undergraduate students as we discuss health disparities, health equity and global health. In addition to professional presentations and publications, I blog at Carter’s Corner, contribute to a number of publications as a freelance writer, and have several other writing projects in progress. And I’m a speaker! I’ve spoken to audiences of various sizes and demographics across the U.S., the U.K. and East, as well as West, Africa. As featured on PBS (here and here) and UNCW’s Fall Convocation (watch here).

When I’m not teaching, writing or speaking, I’m reading! I also love traveling, spending time with family, as well as friends, and trying delicious, healthy recipes.

“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38
