In high school, Nnete excelled academically as a member of the National Honor Society. Nnete was also elected as the first black Student Council President. Nnete played the trumpet in the school band and excelled in athletics as a star gymnast as well as track and field, softball, soccer, and cheer-leading squad.

Nnete was "bit" by the showbiz bug when she auditioned for and received a callback for The Lion King on Broadway, with virtually no previous vocal training.

Nnete earned her B.A. in Legal and Policy Studies, Magna Cum Laude from Fordham University. Nnete excelled academically as a member of the Honors Program and was elected Student Government Association President.
