Montserrat Zárate

Montserrat Zárate is a lieutenant in the Mexican Navy who leads the Islas Marías project. She has participated in the civic-military parade for two consecutive years and feels a deep sense of pride in representing the Navy, which embodies values of honor, duty, loyalty, and patriotism. This year's event is particularly meaningful for her as it showcases the progress toward gender equity in leadership roles, represented by Claudia Sheinbaum's presidency, highlighting the capabilities of women in serving their country.
