Giovanna Sanchez Cisneros

Hailing from León, Guanajuato, I am the eldest child of immigrant parents whose sacrifices instilled in me

the importance of resilience and diligence. Their challenges in navigating a complicated healthcare

system inspired my dedication to overcoming language and cultural barriers in medicine.

In my journey to join healthcare leaders, I have focused on ensuring that underserved

communities are acknowledged and understood. As a Spanish interpreter, I have enhanced

patient-provider relationships, improved health outcomes, and empowered patients to take

charge of their care. My clinical efforts are complemented by my roles as a peer mentor and Academic

Success Coach, where I have nurtured inclusive environments and encouraged representation in

education.

Through positions as a medical scribe, medical assistant, and advocate with organizations such as

Pre-Health Dreamers, I have witnessed the significant impact that compassionate, culturally competent

care can have on underserved populations. These experiences, along with my determination to

address healthcare disparities, drive my ambition to become a physician who amplifies the voices

of those often overlooked. I aspire to merge patient care and policy reform to initiate systemic

changes for a more equitable future in medicine.
