Deonte Carter

I am an empathetic advocacy professional with a strong background in human and social services, particularly focused on supporting military veterans, foster children, and individuals affected by tragedy. My experience as an Outreach Coordinator and Victim Advocate has equipped me with the skills necessary to provide emotional support and crisis intervention to those in need. I have been recognized for my outstanding performance during my 8+ years of active military service, which has further honed my ability to perform in challenging situations.

Currently, I work as a Vocational Caretaking Specialist and Peer Specialist, where I maintain communication with family members and healthcare professionals to ensure the well-being of individuals. My role involves recognizing changes in health and behavior, supporting independence, and advocating for the dignity of those I serve. I am dedicated to fostering a supportive environment and building rapport with clients, ensuring they receive the necessary resources and assistance during difficult times.

With a Master of Education in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling and various certifications in victim assistance and peer support, I am committed to continuous learning and professional development. My goal is to leverage my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others, particularly in the realms of trauma-informed care and community outreach.
