This week on Caffeinated Trauma, I sit down with Tatiana Rivera, a seasoned dispatcher with over a decade of experience behind the radio. Throughout her career, Tatiana has been the calm voice during some of Austin’s most critical moments—including six officer-involved shootings and the Austin bombing. Her dedication to first responders and the community has shaped her into not only a leader but also a source of strength for others. Now serving as a supervisor and member of peer support, Tatiana continues to give back by lending a hand to those navigating the weight of the job. Join me as she shares her journey, the impact of these defining moments, and the resilience it takes to stay strong while supporting those on the front lines.
