Career

She was also part of TC Televisión productions such as Mi Recinto,[2] Joselito, and participated in the telenovela Sharon la Hechicera on Ecuavisa.[3] She was also the host of the show business program Vamos Con Todo on RTS.[4]

Personal life

edit

Passionate about acting, this was what allowed her to reach the big screen.[5] Pacheco commented that she is not fond of her love life being disseminated in show business. Even so, she agreed to discuss her single status in the RTS program, in which in June 2019, she confirmed her single status. One of the most controversial moments was when the actress resigned her role in the RTS program Vamos con Todo. According to Pacheco, the reasons for this event were that after a year and a half of her participation in the channel, the company was unable to comply with her requests.[6]
