That lead to her using her semblance to see.

I just have one problem with this...she's blind. As in, she can't see full stop. Her semblance means that she can still 'see' the world around her, and the proximity sensor warns her when something is nearby...somehow (how is the proximiy sensor sensing things like walls, or trees, or even Grimm?)...but...

What happens when she runs out of aura? She is helpless because she can't see at all.

My suggestion, since her blindness seems to be a major part of her character, is to make her legally blind, but not fully blind. What this means is that for the purposes of tests and driving and basically wandering around in society, she is blind, but she can still see very vague shapes. Like, super vague blurry shapes.

This means that if she runs out of aura, she's not going to instantly die because her proximity sensor doesn't react fast enough to a speedy Grimm bearing down on her. She can see the big black blob charging her and dive out of the way.
