Justine's first exposure to dancing started with traditional Chinese dancing. She did this as a young girl but took a break from dancing to pursue music. It wasn't until her senior year in high school when she decided to take up dancing again. That was when she was introduced to salsa dancing. Entering college, Justine did not become serious in salsa dancing until after her freshman year in college. In May of 2005, JC Labio recruited Justine for AfinKao's amateur team, Con AfinKue. She has been dancing and performing for JC for about two years and is currently an understudy for the professional team AfinKao.
Justine's life outside of salsa dancing has been focusing on becoming a veterinarian. She currently graduated from UC Davis in June of 2007 with a B.S. in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology and minors in Leadership and Animal Science. She is currently taking two years off before applying to vet school, gaining experience in the veterinary field and enjoying life.
