She has also spent nearly a decade covering the war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan since 2008.

A recipient of two National Headliner Awards, Carter was also awarded the Society of Professional Journalists nationally recognized Sigma Delta Chi award for her multiple-part series in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico that uncovered the brutality of the Gulf and Sinaloa Cartel wars along the border.

In addition to her work for FNC, Carter writes for her eponymous website SaraACarter.com. Fluent in Spanish, Carter’s mother is a Cuban immigrant and her father was a Marine and veteran of two wars. She has six children and is married to a war-hero and husband, who was blinded while on a mission fighting terrorists in Afghanistan for the Defense Department.
