She first joined the institute at 2015, and she served as a lecturer at Fresno State in the sociology department from 2011-2017.
Earlier this year, Pacheco-Werner was appointed to the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District.
She is also a member of the American Public Health Association’s Latino Caucus for Public Health.
