Sinead Kerr was born on 30 August 1978 in Dundee, Scotland. She is the daughter of Maeve, a retired nurse, and Alastair, a general practitioner, and has two brothers, John and David. She has worked as a model for Alexander McQueen and as an actress. She will marry Canadian ice hockey player Grant Marshall in July 2016.
Sinead Kerr started roller skating at age 8 and began figure skating about a year later, eventually choosing the latter. She trained as a singles skater before taking up ice dance at age 15.

In November-December 1995, they competed at the 1996 World Junior Championships in Brisbane, Australia, and finished 19th.
Making their senior debut, Kerr/Ferguson placed ninth at the Karl Schäfer Memorial in October 1996. They won three senior medals, two bronze and one silver, at the British Championships. Joan Slater coached them in Edinburgh. Kerr/Ferguson parted ways after the 1999–2000 season.
