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 my gifts. And I am also incredibly thankful these experiences overflow 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 addressing health disparities, increasing health equity and expanding awareness of global health. In addition to professional presentations and publications, I blog at Carter’s Corner, contribute to publications as a freelance writer, and manage a few in progress writing projects. And I’m a speaker, with experience addressing 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 my 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
