She began her distinguished career with the department at CTF in June 2012 as an LVN. She remained in this role at CTF until her untimely passing.
Throughout her years of service, Aguilar was known as a kind, dedicated, and hardworking professional who carried herself with integrity, professionalism, and genuine care for others.
