The Story Of Elizabeth Owusua Who Is Both A Lawyer And A Nurse Is Proof That You Can Be Anything You Want To Be


The story of Elizabeth Owusua is worthy of note and it is very inspiring.

Ghanaian born Owusua is both a lawyer and a nurse.

In her interview, she revealed that while growing up she had always wanted to be a lawyer nurse and fashion designer.

But she never thought her dreams could come to reality because of her humble background.

Owusua attended Mfatsiman Girls Senior High School in the Central Region.

Afterward, she went to a nursing school and “graduated with a Diploma in Nursing in 2008 and started working as a nurse in 2010 after national service.”

She attended a private university in Accra where she “did top-up for a Bsc Degree in Nursing alongside work and graduated in 2013.”


She said that to be able to go to school regularly she opted for the night shift. This was to enable her to focus on her education during the day.

Owusua did not forget her dream of becoming a lawyer as well.

To make this dream a reality, she applied to the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) in 2014 to study law. She gained admission in the same year.

 She was to study law “which I did along with work mostly night shifts.”

Owusua “gained admission to the Law school in 2017 after graduating from GIMPA and was finally called to the Ghana Bar in October 2019.”
