Urban Picks: Pro Goalkeeper and Model Ryann Torrero Shares All Her Favorite Things

It’s not often you come across an athlete who moves effortlessly between the disparate worlds of sports and modeling. Ryann Torrero is a pro goalkeeper whose recent stints include winning the 2016 UWS championship with Santa Clarita Blue Heat and playing for FC Neunkirch in Switzerland’s top league. She also moonlights as a model for fashion and sports brands during the off season.

For this episode of Urban Picks, where guests share their Top 3 favorites in various categories, we asked Torrero to choose all her favorite things, from movies to cheat foods to celebrity crushes, and give us a window into the multitalented athlete’s sartorial and sporting tastes.
