She began her academic journey at St. Monica’s Practising School, Ogbunike, where she distinguished herself as one of the top pupils. Her excellence continued at St. Kizito Secondary School, Umudioka, a brilliant Catholic institution, where she emerged as the best graduating student of her year. It was here that Uzoamaka’s leadership and charisma took full form. As a vibrant member of the Girls’ Scout, she developed early confidence and discipline. She was a leading voice in the school’s debating society, winning multiple interschool competitions. In her final year, she was appointed Current Affairs Prefect, later rising to become Labour Prefect, roles that refined her sense of responsibility and deepened her understanding of respect, integrity, and influence. Her peers admired her confidence, warmth, and ability to lead with empathy.

Uzoamaka’s academic pursuits took her to the University of Nigeria, where, as an indigent student from the Dunukofia clan in Anambra State, she proved her mettle. She was awarded the Okofia IV Scholarship Award and the Pet Okonkwo Scholarship, the latter recognizing five outstanding indigenes from Umunnachi town. These honours were pivotal in supporting her undergraduate studies, culminating in a Bachelor of Science in Medical Radiography and Radiological Sciences. Her leadership journey continued as she was elected Vice President of the Radiography Students Association.
