Her best results were when she scored 9.5/13 in the 1996 Women's Chess Olympiad in Yerevan, and 7.5/8 in the 2008 Women's Chess Olympiad in Dresden, to win the silver medal on board 1 on both occasions.[3]

Fierro won twice the Pan American Under-18 Girls Championship (in 1994 and 1995) and three times the Pan American Under-20 Girls Championship (in 1995, 1996 and 1997).[4] She took part in the first FIDE Women's Grand Prix series from 2009 to 2011.
