Pacheco began her senior career with Liverpool in 2015.[3] She made her club debut on 25 March in a league loss to Sunderland. 11 more appearances followed during the 2015 and 2016 seasons before Pacheco left to join Doncaster Rovers Belles on loan for the remainder of the 2016 campaign.[3][5] She went onto make 12 appearances and score 1 goal prior to signing a permanent contract at the beginning of 2017.[6] In July 2018, Pacheco signed for Reading, after helping Doncaster Rover Belles win the WSL 2 title.[7] On 8 June 2020, Reading announced that Pacheco had left the club after her contract had expired.[8] On 10 July 2020, Pacheco signed for West Ham United.[9] On 16 August 2021, she signed for Aston Villa.[10]

Pacheco played international youth football for England from under-17 level up to under-21 level, appearing in the finals of the 2015 U17 Euros, 2017 U19 Euros, and 2018 U20 World Cup.

In October 2024, Pacheco received her first call up to the Philippines women's national football team for fixtures against Jordan and DR Congo in the Pink Ladies Cup held in Antalya, Turkey.[11]
