TESTIMONIALS *
“In 2025 Downer Professional Services launched the National Security Community of Practice discussing the topic of National Security as a contested concept. Afeeya as our inaugural speaker, shared her experience and expertise on the topic of national security, how the concept has evolved, and the need for diverse voices in tackling some of our nation’s most complex national security challenges. Her knowledge, professionalism and engagement style left a lasting impression on our team, we look forward to having her back again in the future!”
“Afeeya delivered a fantastic keynote to our Women in Strategic Policy program. Her session was thoughtful and relatable, discussing her career and insights into foreign affairs in a way that strongly resonated with participants. The participants’ feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with many highlighting Afeeya’s keynote as one of their favourite sessions. I would highly recommend Afeeya to any organisation seeking a speaker who combines expertise, clarity and genuine impact.”
“Afeeya was a brilliant and inspiring keynote speaker for our student-led Women, Peace and Security Symposium. The students really appreciated her insights and her openness to mentor and champion their ideas and aspirations. She took the time to get to know the students and made herself available to their questions in ways that made them feel supported”
