Maria Fernanda Espinosa Garces is the 73rd President of the United Nations General Assembly. Among her past career achievements are being a published poet, the former Ecuadorean Foreign Minister (two times over), and a former Minister of National Defence. With her inauguration in 2018, she officially became the fourth woman and the first Latina to ever lead the UN General Assembly, a feat that she hopes will inspire more women to pursue positions of leadership.
