Carol Mulumba is a healthy 18-year-old, and a recent graduate from Vanden High School.

Like many of her 350-plus classmates at the Travis Air Force Base-fed school, she has traveled extensively, following, in her case, her mother from one military assignment to another.

Mulumba was born in Maryland, and has lived in four other states largely due to Air Force orders.

She enjoys music, with a current affinity for Adele, but don’t be surprised if you find her listening to Frank Sinatra or Etta James. She likes to write fiction, with eyes gazing to the stars, and she caught the theater bug as a senior.
