About Me

About Me

Following in her renowned great grand-father's journalistic footsteps, Aguirre dedicates her passion of producing and documenting compelling stories visually and digitally. Nothing makes the story more real than to have it told through a camera lens, where you can: see, hear & live in the moment of what's being told. Her passion of both video and photography has made her travel through shanty towns of Lima, Peru to the European living in Paris, France. Her work has been featured in CNN, NBC 5, CBS 2 Chicago, Steve Harvey TV, Pickler & Ben to People and Time Magazine. She has won a Chicago/Midwest Emmy for a Student News Feature on a Mini-Documentary on Youth Violence to being nominated for a 2017 National Daytime Emmy for her work at the Steve Harvey Daytime Talk Show and 2019 Emmy nomination for Pickler & Ben. Outside of her digital work, Aguirre dedicates her time helping out animals in need, running marathons, video gaming and enjoys investigating on various topics.
