Speaking on her journey so far, Orefunwa said:

I almost gave up after writing the UTME for seven years in a bid to gain admission into the university without success. I also applied to the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, three times without success.

But with encouragement from my dad and elder sister, I eventually gained admission to LASU in 2012 to study Accounting Education. My sister kept encouraging me and I started a professional career at the Institute of Chartered Accountant of Nigeria during the long wait for admission. .

I qualified as an Associate Chartered Accountant in 2010. My advice to others is that they should never give up in the face of daunting challenges.
