Courtney Carter is a lawyer by trade but hasn't practiced law since 2010. After leaving the active practice of law, she led a legal diversity pipeline program and then ran diversity initiatives for a small company. That led her to her current role leading diversity at a large law firm. She is responsible for everything from ensuring that her firm’s practices are inclusive to designing a firm-wide strategy.

Courtney ran track in high school but didn’t start running long distances until she was in law school. She ran her first half marathon in 2007 and then ran her first full marathon in 2013. She got bit by the marathon bug and ten marathons later, she’s hopeful about races coming back in full force in 2021.

Courtney has been a member of the Oiselle Volee Team since 2013 and leads the Women of Color group. Recently she started serving as DEI Advisor for Oiselle. She loves combining her professional work with her passion for running.
