mcarter@bcamemphis.org
Mrs. Carter’s formal education began with the Coahoma County school system in Clarksdale, Miss. She attended LeMoyne Owen College earning a Bachelor’s Degree in English and received a Master’s of Arts in Education from Union University in 2011. Born with an innate sense of inquisition and observation, Mrs. Carter has uniquely utilized her characteristics in the educational arena. Having experienced success as both an eighth grade Language Arts teacher (Memphis City Schools) and as a middle school Reading & Language Arts teacher (BCA), Mrs. Carter’s teaching accomplishments are not by chance. She has relentlessly practiced and honed her teaching aptitude and pedagogical knowledge for 11 years. During her tenure, Mrs. Carter has had the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse group of people to meet the common goal of increasing student achievement and improving student interpersonal skills. She holds an uncompromising belief that all students can learn given a positive learning environment, effective leadership, a focused educational team, and committed stakeholders.
She is a devoted wife to Marcus and the mother of two boys, Jeremiah, age 16, and Q’Maree, age 3. She has a passion for molding young minds into bright futures. She believes that in order to be an outstanding educator, one first must teach in the “fear of the Lord” as it alone is the beginning of both knowledge and wisdom (Proverbs 1:7, 9:10).
