Dr. Ala Stanford Reviews

  • Dr. Stanford was a wonderful speaker that told a compelling story and had a strong stage presence. We received rave reviews from our audience about her impactful presentation. After her talk there was a line of attendees 30 mins long hoping to introduce themselves and get a picture with her! She was absolutely a highlight of our launch meeting.
