Sharon Madzorera
About Me:
Hi, I am Sharon. I spend most of my time with my three lovely kids, and my partner of 14 years. My days are filled with laughter, tickle fights and lots of story telling! I enjoy singing and listening to music, I find both so relaxing! Our family has just moved to the UK from Johannesburg, South Africa. So far, we are loving our new home in Saffron Walden. My favorite food has been mashed potatoes since I was five and mom made them for me whenever I was unwell. I’m not yet sure what my favorite color is, but I am fond of every shade of red.

Francesco Iacoviello
About Me:
Hello everyone!
I am Francesco and I come originally from Manfredonia a small city in the South of Italy, however during my scientific carreer I lived in different cities, and now I am working in Cambridge.
When working in science life can be quite busy, but it is important to foster some extracurricular activities or feel-good hobbies.
Weekly in my spare time I enjoy cooking and singing, while during weekends I like travelling to explore natural landscapes, or to practice bouldering. And it’s even better when I share all my passions with friends!
