A native from Ecuador, Diaz-Torres has been involved with sustainable economic development programs for years while working with CARE's Ecuador office (one of the largest international aid agencies in the world), Refugee Women’s Network, and three local chapters of the U.S. Small Business Administration Women’s Business Centers.

After gathering intensive work experience in real estate and graphic design in Ecuador’s private sector where she occupied executive marketing positions, she decided to get involved with the committee of the first nationwide initiative to discuss public policy affecting poverty issues in Ecuador. Since that time, she has used her business and marketing skills for public service and to assist micro and small businesses.
