Bio
Julio Oro
While her credentials speak for themselves, Karen's outgoing and positive personality can make a valuable difference to the people around her. Her good sense of humour made study sessions more enjoyable during our time in engineering graduate school. In addition, she went the extra mile by participating in student organizations making her a well rounded individual combining technical knowledge with a sense of community. She has the confidence to face new challenges and improve herself through education to meet her goals and to benefit others.

Since joining our Toastmasters corporate club, Karen has put her heart into everything she did, be it bringing to life her traveling discoveries or wellness advice through prepared speeches, delivering gutsy impromptu responses during the Table Topics® improvisation challenges, or lately, as an executive committee colleague, where she held the position of VP Membership while I was President. In this role she was instrumental in bringing in new members over the last few months, and working on the newsletter and other initiatives within the club. Her sense of adventure and eagerness for personal growth is positively contagious, and her dedication and sensibility makes her a valued coworker and friend.

Mar 2016 - Present
Homebased bakery specializing in personalized cakes and confections based on European flavors of my family roots & ancestry (Romanian, English, Irish). Gateaux Dulce is now moving away from refined sugars & carbs, and opting for fatty nut flours instead, thus appealing to mental health and physical health advocates, including those intolerant to gluten and lactose. Love to innovate, bridge gaps between baking and engineering, creating new food concepts and bringing them together at celebration events. We fully customize desserts with seasonal fruits and your dietary constraints (except allergies... maybe one day!) Custom sweet tables. Viata Dulce ("sweet life") and Eat it too. Show less
