Lin is a Speech and Language Therapist joining the LUNA team as a Clinical Assessor for the final phase of the project. Lin qualified with Distinction in Speech and Language Sciences from UCL in 2018 and since graduating has been working with Aphasia Re-Connect delivering peer-led community aphasia groups across London. She previously volunteered and worked for Connect – the communication disability network and has long been passionate about supporting people with aphasia to participate in every day conversations, conveying who they are in ways that are personally relevant, meaningful and fun. Lin was attracted to LUNA’s exciting new approach and its focus on enabling people to express their personal stories in their own words and language, and connect with others in a richer, more comfortable and more meaningful way.
