Toro was born in Colombia,[2] competed for Colombia in the 1981 International Mathematical Olympiad,[3] and earned a bachelor's degree from the National University of Colombia.[4] She finished her Ph.D. in 1992 from Stanford University, under the supervision of Leon Simon.[5] After short-term positions at the Institute for Advanced Study, University of California, Berkeley, and University of Chicago, she joined the University of Washington faculty in 1996.[1]

Toro was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2010.[6] She became a Guggenheim Fellow in 2015.[2] She was elected as a member of the 2017 class of Fellows of the American Mathematical Society "for contributions to geometric measure theory, potential theory, and free boundary theory".[7] At the University of Washington, she was the Robert R. & Elaine F. Phelps Professor in Mathematics from 2012 to 2016[8] and is currently the Craig McKibben and Sarah Merner Professor. She was awarded the 2020 Blackwell-Tapia Prize.[9]
