Justine then went on to study Veterinary Nursing in St. Johns, Cork, where she graduated in 2013. Justine is very calm and unflappable and is a great person to have in an emergency situation, she is also a dab hand at fixing things and is the go to person when something stops working. She has a beautiful rescue lurcher named Gigi, who came to the clinic as an abandoned pup and has blossomed under Justine's care. Justine's other interests are going to car rallys and concerts.

In her free time Kerri likes reading, gardening and going to the cinema. Fun fact Kerri accidentally hiked on an active volcano when solo travelling in Iceland.
