Elvia M. Pacheco

Elvia is a naturalized US Citizen who moved to the US with her parents before her first birthday. Elvia is extremely proud to have been born in Mexico and raised in the US, she grew up with love and respect for both countries. In her free time, Elvia enjoys dancing, listening to music, and traveling. Interacting with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures is also a passion of hers, especially with those who have amazing life experiences to share! 

Community Engagement is another huge interest of hers.  Having been born in Mexico but raised in the USA allowed Elvia to gain an understanding and appreciation of both cultures to better support those in the community she resides in.  She believes in integration and enjoys working with community members and partners to bridge the gap between English and Spanish-speaking groups.    

Elvia is the Founder of LatinosUnited, a non-profit that has a mission “to serve young Latinos in the Upstate by promoting Community Involvement, Self-Empowerment and Education.”
