Personal life edit

Torrero is a native of Burbank, California. Her father was born in Chicago and is of Spanish descent.[10] She was eligible to play for Chile through her mother, who emigrated from Santiago in her youth.[11] In 2016, Torrero was in a severe traffic collision on U.S. Route 101 near Camarillo, which put her career on hiatus after suffering head, back and hip injuries.[12] She also works as a model.[13]
