Carter Ford joined the Cate community in 2022 and brings more than a decade of experience working in boarding schools. A boarding school graduate herself, Carter attended Blair Academy in New Jersey before earning a BFA in Advertising Design from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2013, with a focus on advertising, photography, social media, and communications.

At Cate, Carter leads communications and marketing for the Admission Office, shaping how Cate is introduced to prospective students and families across digital and print platforms.
