Vicki trained at Bristol University with the rest of the Natterjacks team. She then had a spell working in Cornwall before moving to Southampton in 2004. Here, she met her husband, Luke, and they made the move to Bournemouth in 2006, drawn by the lure of the beaches and countryside. Since then, she has worked at a small animal practice in Ferndown, dropping her hours to part time after starting a family.
Vicki lives in Southbourne with Luke and their children, Alex and Georgie. In her spare time she enjoys trips to the beach, picnics, walking and cycling. She has a sporadic hobby of refurbishing old furniture, when she finds the time!
