FRIGHTS AND HEIGHTS

When you’re afraid of heights, the last place people would expect to find you is halfway up a climbing wall, unless you’re Justine. Although she’s absolutely terrified of heights, she took up rock climbing and bouldering a couple of years ago as a hobby. Talk about brave!

PSSSSST… SHE’S OBSESSED!

Throughout her lifetime, Justine has cared for 24 pets (one tarantula included), but its cats that have truly clawed their way into her heart. She adores how each cat has their own little quirks and personality.

STEP BY STEP, DAY BY DAY

Whenever she’s feeling overwhelmed, Justine comes back to her parents’ advice: “One day at a time.” It’s a simple reminder to not worry about the future so much, as each day has enough trials and tribulations of its own.
