Bio

Jaquelin Aguirre is deeply committed to advocating for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, working to create safe spaces where they can heal and regain their dignity. Born in Los Angeles, California, and the daughter of Guatemalan and Mexican immigrant parents, she understands the challenges facing the Hispanic immigrant community—an understanding that inspired her vocation for service from a young age. She began her work in victim advocacy in 2017 and has since dedicated her career to supporting survivors and promoting community awareness. She earned an Associate of Applied Science degree from Oklahoma City Community College and a Bachelor's degree from the University of Oklahoma, where, in 2026, she also began her Master's in Social Work.
