Dr. Carter's publications consistently examine psychological adaptations during life transitions, with recent work focusing on identity clarity in digital environments and developmental challenges during college. Her research employs mixed-method approaches to understand behavioral patterns in evolving social contexts.
As faculty-in-residence, she actively engages with students beyond the classroom, hosting events like SAC's Be Our Guest dinners to foster community. She shares her expertise through media appearances including the 'Let's Talk About That' podcast discussing social media research implications for parenting.
