GETTING TO KNOW SARA TURCIOS
| Sara Turcios In Her Own Words I was born in Seattle and then moved to Southern California (Altadena) when I was almost 5. I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old. I love to travel and have been to many Latin American countries, but I can't wait to visit Europe some day! I have two big dogs back home that I wish I could have brought up to Seattle with me! I love that I have a huge extended family and after traveling to Argentina my senior year in high school I realized exactly how big my family really is! My mom is Argentinean and my dad is Salvadoran and I've been lucky enough to have visited both countries! I'm still not sure of what I want to do after I graduate, but I know that I want to be working with people in some way. I love being a part of this team and I love everything about being a Husky =) |
