She pursued her LLB at the University of Ghana before completing her Qualifying Certificate in Law at the Ghana School of Law, a journey that stretched across more than five years.
Throughout that period, she balanced her legal studies with a demanding executive career and family responsibilities.
What role did Amuah hold in corporate world?
Her professional background is anything but narrow. Before stepping into the legal profession, she held senior leadership positions spanning West and Central Africa.
She also holds a Doctor of Business Administration, master's degrees in bilingual translation and organisational development, and has established herself as a published author and leadership coach.
Her daughter, Adwuwa Fynnba Nhyira Berrard Quayson, pursued the same path, and the two studied side by side, supporting one another through the academic pressure and personal sacrifices that legal training demands.
How did Amuah and herdaughter study?
In a heartfelt Instagram post shared, Dr Amuah described the journey as one defined by shared prayer, mutual encouragement and unwavering faith.
"We studied together, prayed together. We encouraged each other through the difficult days, the long nights, the moments of doubt, the stress and the exhaustion," she wrote.
She reflected on how close they both came to losing hope at various points, but credited their faith for sustaining them through the hardest stretches of the journey.
