Cheryl Chingosho

Hello! I'm Cheryl Tariro Chingosho and I'm your new welfare officer. I'm Zimbabwean and I grew up in Kenya, and now I am undertaking a master's in Public Health.

I have an unhealthy obsession with Capybaras.
I am very bad at sports that involve hand-eye coordination.
When dressing up to go out, I put on one sock, then a shoe, then the other foots sock, then its shoe.
My favourite colour is pink and I almost always wear brightly coloured clothing.
