Prof Rebecca Mwikali Wambua. [Jayne Rose Gacheri, Standard]
Before emails, meetings and university demands begin, Prof Rebecca Mwikali Wambua greets the day in silence. In the stillness of dawn, gospel music hums softly beside her Bible and breakfast smoothie, a quiet ritual she calls “alignment” before stepping into leadership at African Nazarene University.
For Prof Wambua, discipline and mindset are not motivational slogans but principles that have shaped every stage of her journey; from a student who narrowly missed admission to law school by one point, to becoming one of East Africa’s leading voices in Distance, Open and e-Learning.
“I wanted to be a lawyer,” she says matter-of-factly, “I missed it by one point.”
