Camacho's public engagement and service is driven by her passion to continue the work and legacy of her mentors- to create opportunities for those individuals from marginalized communities and make education and advancement attainable to all. Camacho's own legacy in STEM, her story, leadership, work, and prolific mentoring has been featured in many national and local articles and news, including Horizonte (aired on KAET Public TV), NBC Nightly News, CBS Evening News, Univison Evening News, 91.5 KJZZ News, AMS Notice, Math4Science, VME/PBS Series for Latino Youth and STEM Careers, Cornell's Center for Applied Math (CAM) Featured Alumna, Voces, SACNAS News, SIAM News, and La Opinion Los Angeles Spanish Newspaper, among many others.

Disseminating research is key to the advancement of science. Sharing one's experiences so that others may learn or gain insight is important to raising awareness and helping promote equity. I have given many keynote, plenary, and invited talks across the nation and around the world on my research and also my experiences.
