“I had the privilege of working with Dr. Ithar Hassaballa when we invited her to speak at the National Foreign Affairs Training Center in Arlington, Virginia, on the ongoing conflict in Sudan. Dr. Hassaballa delivered an outstanding presentation that was very well received.
She offered nuanced and deeply informed perspectives on the humanitarian dimensions of the war, drawing both on her Sudanese heritage and family ties, and on her professional expertise in global health.
Her ability to combine personal stories and insights with her extensive expertise enriched the discussion and resonated strongly with the audience. Dr. Hassaballa is an exceptional subject-matter expert and communicator. I highly recommend her as a keynote speaker and facilitator.”
