Career

Karter was the founder and CEO of the Dancing Deer Baking Company, a Boston-based producer of high-end, natural baked goods for nationwide distribution. The company is known for its commitment to employing and providing opportunity to individuals from deprived backgrounds.

The company is noted for producing all-natural, preservative-free products.

Karter is also an artist; part of the success of the Dancing Deer line of baked goods is credited to the "whimsical" figures that she has created to decorate the company's packaging.
