In 2002 Rivero won a Rocky Mountain Emmy Award and an Associated Press Award for "In search of the American Dream" a story about the dangers illegal immigrants are willing to face for a chance at a better life. That same year she also received an Associated Press Award for "48 Hours in New York" a series of September 11th-based human-interest stories.

She is a strong supporter of the James Alan Cox Foundation, which provides scholarships to students who wish to become photographers. The foundation was started in honor of photographer and Rivero’s dear friend James Cox who was killed when two news helicopters collided in mid-air in 2007.
