Early Life and School Days
Kika Silva was born in Santiago, Chile, on March 18, 1992. Her dad is Daniel Silva, and her mom, Francisca Sánchez, was a hockey player. Kika is the oldest of four children.
When she was in school at Nazaret School, Kika was part of the athletics team. But a back injury at age 14 made her stop playing sports. After finishing high school in 2010, she went to Universidad Andrés Bello to study physical education.
