About me
My name is Lenka Gorman. I have completed my BSc (Hons) in physiotherapy at King’s Colledge London. During my time as a physiotherapist at Fairview Psychiatric Hospital in Dublin, I obtained an MSc in Neuroscience from Trinity College Dublin. I joined the LMU Philosophy of Mind and CVBE in 2020.
