Tunisian entrepreneur, blogger, and human rights activist, Amira Yahyaoui joins us to discuss what the edtech space is doing to support and change the higher education landscape amid the back-to-school season.

 

Amira is currently the Founder & CEO of Mos.com, an online platform that provides easier access to more than $135B available in college financial aid.

 

Before starting Mos and entering tech, Amira set her sights in the nonprofit world.
