She has extensive experience in institution-building and is talented in driving initiatives from concept to execution. Carpenter focuses her leadership style on collaboration and takes a student-centered approach. As an internationally-known expert in intellectual property, her interests lie in entrepreneurship, branding, and the arts. Carpenter has worked with underserved communities such as early-stage entrepreneurs, musicians, and grassroots art organizations.
