Stephanie will work alongside Mindy Mair, Utah S3DA State Coordinator, to develop and implement conservation initiatives for the Utah S3DA program.

Stephanie said, “I am very passionate about hunting and want to help kids learn all about the great outdoors. Our family is very active and when we are not at a dance competition, we are usually at an archery tournament.”

Stephanie is married to Chris Carter, who works in the oil and gas industry. They enjoy raising their two daughters in the Uintah Basin and are both very community oriented with a special love for the outdoors, conservation, and hunting. Everyone in their household owns a bow and enjoys hunting.

Stephanie has a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration and a Master of Science Degree in Leadership Management. She is a seasoned marketing professional with fifteen plus years of experience.

Stephanie looks to host workshops with Utah S3DA youth and their families to educate them on many conservation-related topics including, but not limited to, campfire and gun safety, water conservation, recycling, sustainable living, and endangered animals. She will work with connections she makes within the state to invite experts or conservationists to share their knowledge as well. Stephanie said that by fostering curiosity and empathy, we can inspire the next generation of conservationists.
