Rohini B Allemand, Co-Editor
“Hi! My name is Rohini and I work with Education Choices Magazine as one of the Assistant Editors. I recently achieved a first in BA English Language and Linguistics from King's College London, and will be retaining my position as an editor at Education Choices Magazine. I have completed a remote one-month internship assisting both the editorial and marketing departments at an academic publishing firm, where I compiled multiple contact lists for an upcoming manuscript and proofread academic manuscripts in their entirety. I also currently freelance as a proofreader for an audio transcription service. I look forward to utilising these acquired skills in my work with this magazine, and I’m so excited to be continuing to work with this fantastic team!”

Ella Maria, Co-editor and Head of Marketing
“Hello! My name is Ella and this will be my fifth year working for Education Choices Magazine! I am passionate about the work that we do and can’t wait to meet some of the incredible people that we will work with in the magazine this year! Having just graduated with a BA in English Literature at UCL, I am now expanding upon my contextual knowledge of the world with an MSc in Anthropology, through which I will learn of social politics, capitalism and engage in Documentary making, through which I can explore these topics visually. I look forward to seeing what Nurseries, Schools and Universities get up to this year, working towards a better future for both adults and children in education.”
