Aburto was born in Managua, Nicaragua, to Noel Blanco and his wife, Delbi Cardoza. She moved to California in 1984 as civil violence increased in Nicaragua.

She worked in the language industry for more than 25 years and owns a translation company with her husband.
Aburto's family attended Spanish-speaking congregations until 2013, when they began attending their neighborhood English-speaking ward. From 2012 to 2016, Aburto was a member of the LDS Church's Primary General Board. She has traveled widely as a counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency. In August 2018, she visited residents of a shelter in Guatemala built by LDS Humanitarian Services.
At the church's October 2019 general conference, Aburto spoke about issues of mental illness, including her father's death from suicide. In March 2020, Aburto was the keynote speaker at the International Women-in-Diplomacy Day Luncheon.
