Carter has been in the kitchen since day one, literally. She came into the world as her mom prepped for a catering event, arriving just in time for the party. Her earliest memories include being propped up on the counter, touching and tasting everything. 

She trained in the kitchens at Lucques, AOC and Grace under inspiring and award winning chefs who have built careers highlighting the abundance of vibrant ingredients here in Los Angeles. 

This experience is paired with a lifelong cooking education from her grandmothers. Today, She wears multiple hats, all knit together by a passion for social activism, cultural curiosity and bringing people together around delicious food.
