Following grad school, Pasquariello served as the executive director for Children’s HealthWatch, a data collection, research and policy center that works to improve children’s health in America by informing policies to address and alleviate economic hardships, such as hunger and housing. During his tenure, the organization was recognized for helping to minimize cuts to the Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program and created a collaboration which led to an increase in the Massachusetts Earned Income Tax Credit of more than 50 percent, positively impacting more than 400,000 working families. In 2015, Pasquariello was recognized for his work by the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce as one of ten outstanding young leaders.
