Social psychologist. DEI leader. Data geek.
I am a social psychologist who has conducted cutting-edge research on how to detect and discuss racial bias, and I love bridging the theoretical insights that academia offers with the practical needs of corporate organizations.
In short? I love data, I love talking, and I will happily tell you about my favorite study (of which there are many)!

Dr. Carter holds a B.A., Psychology from Northwestern University (Go 'Cats!), an M.A., Psychology from University of Illinois at Chicago, and a Ph.D., Psychology from Indiana University. She and her husband left the cold of the Midwest behind for the sun and sand of Southern California, where they live with their daughter and gaggle of pets. They all love watching TV and film (Great British Bake Off, true crime documentaries, and Ms. Rachel, respectively) and taking bike rides to the beach.
