How to develop a technology career with a political science degree? Why academic skills are so important to make positive change? 

In this episode, we talk to Francisca Sassetti, a research analyst whose work is focused on migration, modern slavery, and technology. After arriving in the United Kingdom to pursue her master's degree at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Francisca ended up learning coding skills to work in tech to pay for her studies. Francisca's background in political science and technology inspired her to investigate tech for good in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
