Sandra Diaz, founder of De Las Americas LLC, was born in Bogotá, Colombia, and earned her law degree from the University Libre in Bogotá.

Her public service at the Colombian federal level led her to work as a legal assessor, investigating and inspecting corporations controlled by the Colombian government. She was selected to serve the federal committee to revise, amend, and reform the business law code. Sandra also served as a legal assessor for the Colombian Department of Ethics, investigating and prosecuting major cases of negligence, corruption, and fraud by public employees.

After receiving her master’s degree from the Universidad de Los Andes (specializing in business law), Sandra established her own practice in corporate and criminal law, representing private citizens and high-ranking public officials at the state and federal level.

In 1999, she moved to the United States and founded De Las Americas, a consulting firm that assists businesses and law enforcement agencies that serve Hispanics, Latinos, and Hispano Americans in the United States and abroad.

Sandra is a certified U.S. State Department Victim Specialist.

Her volunteer portfolio includes restorative justice programs with the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office. Sandra also served on the Boulder County Sheriff’s Citizens’ Academy and the Longmont Community Justice Partnership Board of Directors, which offers governance and community leadership.

As a speaker, researcher, trainer, author, and consultant, Sandra continues to promote educational, social, and cultural understanding in response to the issues created by diversity. She lives in Colorado.
