Ana A. Rico is an MSIS graduate student from UT Austin. Ana grew up in the El Paso–Juárez border, and obtained her BBA in accounting with a minor in finance from The University of Texas at El Paso. Her passion for librarianship began when she interned for the El Paso Public Library, where she got the opportunity to have a direct, positive impact in the community. This passion was redirected towards US Latine librarianship after developing a digital scholarship project with the Onda Latina collection for the Benson Latin American Collection. She is particularly interested in accessibility of information and resources for underserved groups, archival silence, and zines. She is currently working as the Collection Development graduate research assistant for the Nettie Lee Benson Latin American Collection, where she processes gifts, aids in acquisitions, and assists with community engagement efforts. Ana is also a Kaleidoscope Scholar and an ALA Spectrum Scholar.
