   Pamela Calletti currently serves as the Legal Advisor to the Governor of Argentina's Northwestern province of Salta. She previously served in Salta as Argentina's only female Provincial Minister of Justice and Human Rights. As Minister she was responsible for setting policy and overseeing programs for judges, prosecutors, and law enforcement officers in her province.

   In 2016, Calletti participated in the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) project titled "Administration of Justice and Combating Organized Crime." Calletti said, "Without a doubt participating in the IVLP had a positive impact on both my professional and personal life. I took the opportunity to bring what I learned back to Salta." During her program, she noted how federal and state judges and prosecutors in the United States worked together and attempted to duplicate that cooperation in Argentina.

   Following her IVLP, Calletti worked with colleagues to incorporate her province to the Federal System of Police Communications (SIFCOP). Through SIFCOP, Calletti has significantly impacted the fight against drug trafficking by better allowing law enforcement to learn about criminal networks.

   As a legal advisor, Pamela Calletti builds bridges between all actors in the criminal justice system and seeks to improve criminal prosecution in the Argentine province of Salta.
