Personal: Parents are Steve and Janet Carter ... enjoys reading, shopping, listening to music and hanging out with friends.
My earliest gymnastics memory is ... going to Gymboree classes with my mom
The coolest thing I had in my bedroom growing up was ... my Minnie Mouse canopy bed
The best nickname I ever had was ... Shopping Carter, Carty-Cart, or Cartman (thanks to Kelly Fee)
Something people would be surprised to know about me is ... I love math...especially integrals!
The best advice my parents ever gave me was ... "Attitude is everything"
The best advice my coach ever gave me was ... Before my first competition at Stanford - "It doesn't matter whether you land on your face or stick it cold, we'll always love you"
My greatest athletic moment was ... Finding out that I would have the opportunity to attend Stanford and compete on one of the best teams in the nation
Since coming to Stanford, I have learned ... about the true meaning of teamwork and camaraderie. I have learned what it takes to compete on a team and what it feels like to see all of your hard work and dedication come together at the right moment
The best thing about Stanford women's gymnastics is ... the team chemistry. It's amazing, without even trying. We all love each other so much, which we use for fuel in the gym everyday. We all know that it's not only about doing it for yourself, but doing it for the 15 other girls who are training right alongside you
I'm most thankful for ... my family, friends, and the opportunity that I have been given to reach my full potential
