She then went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts. She received a Master in Fine Arts degree from New York University in 1997. She returned home to Hunts Point with her family and worked later for The Point Community Development Corporation.

Carter, who had previously declined to participate in a campaign for NY City Council in August 2001, founded Sustainable South Bronx (SSBx) where she was executive director until July 2008. SSBx supported the Hunt’s Point Riverside Park, which was an illegal garbage dump. Carter was a co-founder of the Bronx River Alliance [bronxriveralliance.org], and SSBx continued to carry on Carter’s involvement in Bronx River waterfront restoration projects.

From there, Carter secured a $10,000 grant from a USDA Forest Service program to provide seed money for river access restoration projects. Over a five-year period she worked with other community members and the Parks Department to help leverage that seed money into more than $3 million from the mayor’s budget. The money was used to build the park into the Rudy Bruner award- winning iteration which re-opened in 2006.
