Pastore was born in San Luis, Argentina. She earned her Ph.D. in natural sciences from the University of Buenos Aires. Her doctoral work was on the genus Isoetes.

Following her Ph.D. she worked at multiple institutions including the Instituto de Botánica: Darwinión, Colegio Nacional Nicolás Avellaneda and the Colegio Nacional Bernardino Rivadavia Colegio N.º 1 Bernardino Rivadavia (Argentina) [es]. She was particularly known for her collaborative work with her Ph.D. advisor, Lorenzo Parodi.
