She came to America in 1997 and lived in the Washington DC area until the end of 2001 when she moved to California. While working as a Mortgage Loan Consultant with Citibank, she proceeded to the University of Phoenix, San Diego Campus to obtain an MBA in Global Business and Finance in September 2008. Not resting on her academic quest, Ifesinachi went on to obtain a Juris Doctor degree from the Trinity International University Law School in Santa Ana, California in December 2012.

Ifesinachi has worked for some of the leading financial institutions in America including the World Bank in Washington DC, Union Bank of California, Wells Fargo Bank, Citibank and Bank of America.
