Zaira Zambelli Taveira
I had the pleasure of being in the same cohort as Rabia Hanif during our Humphrey Fellowship Program at Virginia Commonwealth University, USA, 2017-2018. Her exceptional leadership and public speaking skills were outstanding. She was very passionate about her project and devoted to learning courses in her field. I highly recommend Rabia Hanif for her dedication, her potential as a leader, and for being an amazing team player.
