During her nearly eight-year tenure, she helped 119 families, totaling 363 individuals of which 219 were children.

In February 2019, Carter accepted a human resources position at Yes to Youth – Montgomery County Youth Services, a local nonprofit that provides individual and family counseling to at-risk youth and temporary shelter for homeless youth.

Carter earned a bachelor’s degree in general business administration from Sam Houston University and is a graduate of Leadership Montgomery County Class of 2016. She is involved in various other nonprofit organizations and has served on the board of trustees for the Montgomery County Homeless Coalition in the capacity of an advisory board member for the Community Assistance Center in Conroe.
