Toro began playing tennis at the age of six and was educated in Miami. Undefeated in her only season of high school tennis, she was ranked in the top-five for the 18s category in Florida.[1]
As a collegiate player she had one season at Florida International University, before transferring as a sophomore to the University of Miami, where her elder sister Tari Ann was one of the coaches.[1]
Between 1997 and 2002, Toro appeared in 26 ties for the Puerto Rico Fed Cup team, winning 15 singles rubbers. Her 11 wins in doubles play remains a team record. She was a women's doubles gold medalist at the 2002 Central American and Caribbean Games in San Salvador, partnering Vilmarie Castellvi.[2]
