Responding to a question on her favorite music, the mother of two revealed that "Jazz, Classical and Gospel music lift my spirit."
The late Wamalwa's wife also narrated that she undertook her college studies in the United Kingdom and later moved to Australia where she acquired a Master's degree in Policing, Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and International Security.
Regarding what she does to unwind, Ms Wamlwa explained that "I love my creature comforts, what girl doesn’t, but a beautiful aromatic bath, good music and some quiet time will do the trick."
Following her husband's death, the then President Mwai Kibaki appointed her as a Deputy Permanent Representative of Kenya to the United Nations Habitat offices in Nairobi, a position she held for three years before moving to Australia.
In Australia, she served as Kenya's Deputy High Commissioner and had plans to pursue a Ph.D. before returning home.
