Personal

Aguilar was born on 3 February 1975 in Torrent, Valencia,[1][2] and attended Colegio Público Miguel Hernández.[2] Before fracturing her spine in a car accident in December 1992, she played handball.[1][2] She represented Spain internationally in handball at the under 17 level.[1] She played club handball as a goalball for Urbana Valencia.[1] As an athlete with a disability, sports she initially tried included swimming, wheelchair basketball and powerlifting.[1]

Aguilar took a break from competitive sport at one point to give birth to her son.[1] Her break from sport was extended after her father got lung cancer and she tended to him until he died from the disease.[1] In 2013, she was getting a disability pension.[1] In February 2013, local police in Alfafar organized a talk about driver education, and Aguilar participated in the talk as a speaker because of the impact a traffic accident had in her life. While at the event, she also signed the city's Book of Honor.[3][4] In November 2013, she was given an award at the fifth edition of the Carta de Poblament awards. She won in the category for arts, letters and sports.[2][5][6] In November 2013, she participated in a program run by the Programa ADOP Empleo to train Paralympic athletes in developing business communication and entrepreneurship skills.[7]

Aguilar competes in athletics using a wheelchair.[1]

The 2011 Spanish National Adaptive Athletics Championships were held in Valencia and Aguilar competed in them.[8] Competing at the 2010 IPC European Championships, she finished third in the shotput.[1][2] Aguilar competed at the 2012 Summer Paralympics in athletics.[1] In 2013, she was working on qualifying for the 2016 Summer Paralympics in the javelin, discus and shotput.[1] In March 2013, she participated in a dualathlon event as part of a relay team, with Jesus Cordero Ballesteros her teammate.[9][10][11][12]
