She grew up in St. Louis, Missouri where she studied ballet under Robyn Hartley and apprenticed for the St. Louis Ballet Company where she had the opportunity to perform in the ballets, Serenade and Giselle. She spent summers at American Ballet Theatre, Boston Ballet, and The Ailey School. She then furthered her training at The Ailey School on Fellowship, performing works by Judith Jamison, Take Ueyama, and Francesca Harper and later attended Matthew Corozine Studio Theater for acting. Among her many collaborations in NYC as a freelance performing artist, highlights include dancing for The Francesca Harper Project, Touch Performance Art, Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Amy Wan Man Cheung (Chashama Art Gallery), Willy Laury and most recently interdisciplinary artist Janet Biggs - performing works at The New Museum and Fridman Gallery in NYC.

In 2019 Carter released her debut EP entitled, “DOULA”, establishing herself as a musician with the vision of bringing her movement and love for cross-disciplinary art forms underneath the same umbrella. Her live music sets and music videos blend all of her art forms into one cohesive story of sound, movement, and emotion. She is passionate about conjuring her authentic voice and helping others do the same through the healing potential of movement, vocalization, and improvisation.
