Having gained many accolades over his years in high school, including becoming a certified journalist through Arizona State University, winning state FTC robotics, and being recognized by the Park County School District One board for excellence in journalism, Cartier has developed a deep love and appreciation for writing both in and out of the classroom.

Being a lifelong fan of movies like Mission: Impossible, Star Wars, and Back to the Future, Cartier one day hopes to write movies of his own to inspire the generation after him just like the movies of his childhood worked to inspire him.
