Née Jillian Warry, the future weatherwoman was born in a small town in Ontario, Canada on September 26, 1966. An electrician and a nurse adopted her as a baby. Barberie discovered her biological parents in 2001 and found out that they both hailed from the United Kingdom, which explains the tattoo she has of a Union Jack four-leaf clover. As a child, Barberie was active in figure skating. In order to help make ends meet in her blue-collar family, she began to take jobs at the age of fifteen. She later graduated with a broadcast journalism degree from the Mohawk College of Applied Arts and Technology in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Her first major job in her field was as a weathercaster for The Weather Network in Canada from 1990 to 1992.
