Newest CASA Staff Britney Carter

I was born in Phoenix, AZ. My father served in the military

while I was growing up, so my family traveled a lot. I have

lived in San Diego, Guam, Chicago, and now Arkansas. I

graduated from North Little Rock High Shcool in 2007. I

then moved to Magnolia, AR an attended Southern Arkansas

Univeristy with the mindset that I was going to get a degree

in Psychology. That quickly changed to Political Science, but

that didn’t catch my interest so when I transfered to UALR

last semester I switched my major yet again to Criminal

Justice and a minor in Psychology. While attending SAU

in Magnolia, during the Spring semester of 2008, I pledged

Alpha Sigma Alpha. It was tough but well worth it. I love my

sorority and what it stands for. After I get my degree from

UALR I hope to attend law school and become an attorney.

Here at Pulaski County CASA, I have been given the title

of Community Outreach Assistant. I will be working with

the AmeriCorps VISTA’s to find more community supports

and business partnerships to expand some of the programs

that they have, such as the CASA closet, birthday boxes and

school supplies. I am really excited about this opportunity

and am looking forward to making my lasting contribution in

the lives of foster children in our community.
