Wambua, along with former LSK president Nelson Havi, left office in January 2022.

She is a High Court of Kenya Advocate with more than fifteen years of experience, having been admitted to the Bar on July 20, 2006.
She was chosen from a list of ten applicants in what the LSK Council describes as a transparent and competitive process.
She will serve for a period of three years with effect from June 2022.
LSK President Eric Theuri said her tenure is renewable once upon satisfactory performance.
“She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in leadership and management,” Theuri said.

Since 2012, she has worked for the Law Society of Kenya as a Program Officer in charge of the Compliance and Ethics Department, and since 2016, she has served as the Deputy Secretary/CEO.
