Paula Merlo studied MA Publishing at London College of Communication. After graduating, Paula headed back to her home of Brazil to experience the publishing world in South America. Since the interview was written, Paula became Editor in Chief of Vogue Brazil.
I after I graduated I came back to Brazil where I launched Glamour magazine in our country as their Features Editor. Then I became Senior Editor and now I am Editor in Chief for Glamour Brazil.
I wanted to understand publishing in-depth and update my skills. Before LCC I worked at Vogue Brazil and I needed fresh ideas to continue working in journalism. LCC is a well-known university and I wanted to live in London where publishing is very strong.
The friends I made – these people are also doing great in their professional lives!
Listen to your tutors! These guys know what they're talking about and are so willing to help you out.
The Pope! He's the most forward-thinking man alive.
Respectful, challenging, friendly.
For the first 6 - 8 months I lived in LCC accommodation in Southwark, then I lived in Earls Court. I explored London as a whole, but fell in love with the West side.
