Wamba prior to being at Mitchell Wamba lived in Minnesota and only moved to Florida her 8th grade year. Of her 4 years at Mitchell , she has spent half of them on the Hoofbeat Newspaper staff. In fact, the reason she joined the staff in the first place is because of a close friend with a recommendation of the fun class, and the promise of snacks. Luckily Wamba took the recommendation and joined the class, and since then has become an integral part of the Hoofbeat staff.
