GETTING TO KNOW FAUSTINE DUFKA
| Faustine Dufka In Her Own Words I was born and raised in San Francisco, CA and attended an International school. My mom is French, my dad American, and we speak both French and English at home. I took all my classes in French since lower school, so taking math in English freshman year was all new to me! I'm currently working towards a degree in medical anthropology and global health and will be applying to medical school after I graduate. I love traveling, reading, arts & crafts, snowboarding, exploring nature, and going on adventures; anything different or new intrigues me. I have played on six different club teams since I started playing soccer, and this is the first time I have been on a team that gets along so well and works so hard to achieve the same dream. I am eternally grateful to be part of this team and I know that the experiences we share will be part of me forever. | |
| Nickname | "Doof" or various spellings of the name |
| Favorite song | "In the Waiting Line" by Zero 7 |
| Guilty pleasure | Molly Moon's Lavender-Honey homemade ice cream |
| Strangest thing a coach ever said to you | "Go to jail" - Jim Thomas, the "Warden" (I'm sure this is a recurring one) |
| Most embarrassing soccer moment | Taking a small tumble on the treadmill during winter workout freshman year in front of all my teammates. |
| Favorite part of being a Husky | Being surrounded by an amazing team of motivated, caring, extraordinary, and always entertaining, individuals. |
| Favorite restaurant in Seattle | Chaco Canyon Organic Cafe |
| Favorite place on UW campus | Husky Soccer Field, even if we've had to jump the fence to get there! |
| Zodiac sign and one trait you possess typical of that sign | I'm a Gemini. They are inquisitive, somewhat restless, love to keep busy, and can't help themselves from multitasking. |
| If you could have dinner with one person, who would it be | President Barack Obama |
| Random fact people wouldn't know about Faustine Dufka | I took seven years of Mandarin Chinese throughout middle school and high school. |
| Best thing about playing for Coach Gallimore | Lesle always says it like it is. Her honesty and understanding go hand in hand; they are invaluable traits for a coach to have. Her sometimes shocking, yet always truthful, and often funny remarks, have a subtle way of turning into life lessons that will continue to guide us on and off the field, long after we have graduated. |
