Erta Carcani

I am a Biological Sciences graduate with hands-on experience in chemical research, dental assistance, and community health programs. My background blends scientific training with patient-centered care, allowing me to approach challenges with both analytical thinking and compassion.

I’ve conducted laboratory research involving chromatography, NMR spectroscopy, and reaction optimization, and I enjoy investigating scientific questions that contribute to better health outcomes. In clinical settings, I’ve supported patient care, assisted with dental procedures, managed records, and helped maintain smooth, organized workflows.

Beyond academics and work, I’m deeply committed to community service. I’ve volunteered in hospitals, with children facing medical challenges, and as a crisis text counselor—experiences that have strengthened my empathy, communication, and ability to support others during difficult moments.

I’m motivated to grow in roles that connect science, healthcare, and service. I’m always open to networking, learning from others, and contributing to meaningful work that improves wellbeing in my community.

I have experience across scientific research, healthcare support, and community service. In the chemistry research lab, I conducted experiments, optimized reactions, and analyzed results using chromatography and NMR spectroscopy. As a dental assistant, I supported clinical procedures, educated patients, maintained sterilization and organization, and handled administrative tasks such as scheduling and billing. I also held roles in hospital, pediatric, and community health settings, where I provided patient support, organized activities, and contributed to health education. My work as a crisis text line counselor further strengthened my communication, empathy, and problem-solving skills.

I earned a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences from Fordham University, where I gained a strong foundation in chemistry, biology, and laboratory research. My coursework and hands-on lab experience strengthened my skills in scientific analysis, experimental design, and data interpretation, preparing me for roles in research, healthcare, and clinical environments.
