According to her, the difficult period taught her important life lessons that later helped her excel academically.
She told Legit.ng:
"After completing my secondary school education in 2017, I was unable to immediately further my education due to financial constraints. For several years, I worked as a salesgirl while holding firmly to my dream of obtaining a university education and building a career that would allow me to impact lives through knowledge."

Speaking further, Loveth said having to work instead of attending school made her realise that life does not always go according to plan.
"It made me realise that in this life everything will not go according to my plan. I had to learn patience and discipline. I have always wanted to go to school. I kept that in mind and forged ahead."
How UNIPORT graduate maintained excellent grades
When asked about the secret behind her exceptional academic performance, the scholar revealed that consistency, faith, proper planning, and effective study habits played major roles in her success.
She explained that she discovered she learned better during the daytime and made sure she maximised those hours.
According to her, she started studying early in every semester, prepared personal notes, and regularly asked questions both in class and from senior colleagues.
She said:
"I started studying and making my own notes early in the semester. I asked questions a lot both in class and to my senior colleagues. I always prayed for direction and the Lord answered in ways I can't explain."
The graduate also credited her success to maintaining the right associations and understanding what study methods worked best for her.
UNIPORT graduate records perfect 5.00 semester CGPA
The UNIPORT graduate disclosed that her highest semester CGPA was a perfect 5.00 out of 5.00.
The feat further highlighted her academic excellence during her years at the University of Port Harcourt.
How she overcame major academic challenges
Despite her remarkable success, Loveth admitted that there were moments when her academic journey became very challenging.
One of the most difficult periods came when she lost her phone during her 300-level studies.
She told Legit.ng:
"Yes, there were times. One of which was when I lost my phone in 300 level and a lot of my course materials were in PDF files. I was so frustrated that period but I will forever be grateful for our library computer room. It really helped me. I had a friend send the files to a computer there and I used it for studying. It required me leaving my house early in order to be the first there so I can use that particular computer. I know you will ask why not just print it, but the files were many and there was no money for those expenses."
Loveth also encouraged young Nigerians not to lose hope regardless of their present circumstances.
"I will say, don't give up. Though you may be delayed, don't lose hope. Have a dream and stay consistent, you will one day look back and be amazed at how far you've come," she said.
