As Rebecca Crown Library’s first social media intern, Ana Zuniga Sanchez honed her graphic design skills and learned the importance of digital accessibility.

Ana’s major project was creating a branding proposal for the library’s social media content. While researching how to successfully market library programs and services, she became aware that not everyone would be able to clearly see her content.

“There are people who are visually impaired,” Ana noted. “So, the question becomes, am I being conscious about the content I am creating?”

Ana made sure to include descriptive text with audio and to adjust fonts and colors for clarity on each of her posts.

“Those are small decisions that can have a big impact,” she says.

The internship even led to a paid position within the library.

A DU student ambassador, Ana also helps make campus tours more accessible to Spanish-speaking parents by translating for them.

“Having the opportunity to take that load off of prospective students so they can soak everything in, knowing there is someone explaining things to their family members, is my favorite part of the job,” Ana says.
