Brittany Mbuyamba on why she serves
Brittany Mbuyamba is the Marketing and Special Events Manager for the U.S. Army Family and Morale Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) here at White Sands Missile Range and a Human Resources Sergeant in the Army Reserves at Fort Bliss, Texas. Upon graduating with a bachelor’s in mass communications from Delaware State University in 2009, she started working for the Child and Youth Services (CYS) as an Administration Assistant and later became a Strong Beginnings Pre-K teacher. In 2010, she entered into the MWR Management Training program in Germany where she worked, started a family, and earned her master’s in business administration from the University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) in Stuttgart. One month ago, upon graduating, she arrived at WSMR with her son and joined the MWR team.
Mbuyamba’s work involves working behind the scenes to ensure that the base has, and is aware of, the abundance and diversity of activities here on base for the community to enjoy, stay active, and get involved in. “I have a special connection with both internal and external customers. It is really a pleasure to serve both,” said Mbuyamba. “I enjoy informing external customers of all the awesome opportunities they have to get involved! For internal customers I enjoy being part of their team, supporting them and sharing details about their events with the installation.”
When asked why she serves, she explained that her mother served as a CYS Director and her father served as active duty for the Army, and later in the Army Reserves.
Mbuyamba enjoys traveling, music, singing, roller skating, and theater. She even directed and acted in “A Raisin in the Sun” during her time in Germany. In her free time, she enjoys exploring the local area along with attending festivals and events.
