She dabbled in teaching when she was an undergraduate; however, she tried other careers at first such as sales. She eventually joined the College in 2019. Ruano teaches Introduction to Digital Photography, Digital Tools for the Visual Arts, and Photographic Expression. She works in the Visual and Performing Arts Department at the Takoma Park-Silver Spring campus. While she has been with the College for six years, she is no stranger to the school. She was born in Washington, D.C. Her family moved to Montgomery County when she was a child. She lived in Rockville, Silver Spring, and North Bethesda. She graduated from Walter Johnson High School in North Bethesda and then began her college career at MC. "When I was at Montgomery College, I took pretty much every art course I could. I primarily worked in printmaking because I had a really nice relationship with John Carr, who is still a professor at the Rockville campus. He was kind of like a mentor to me and helped develop my art practice," Ruano said. She finished her studies at the College and then headed out west. She attended the ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. Her major was fine art which was interdisciplinary, but she focused more on video arts. She earned her Master's in Fine Art from the University of California, Irvine. She began studying video arts, but then switched her focus to photography. Ruano worked as a teaching assistant at a local high school when she was in California. She taught photography, ceramics, and helped out in a foundational art class. She discovered how much she enjoyed teaching and working with students. "I really appreciate the structure in academia and the investment in studying and researching. I thought teaching would be a good way to keep me on my toes. So when I was exploring graduate programs, one of the things I was looking at was programs that had teaching assistantships," Ruano said. Eventually, Ruano headed back to Maryland and joined the College. While she enjoyed what she was doing, teaching was a challenge at first. Looking back she said, "It's been the most fulfilling work I've ever done. And I was really surprised by that." "Like I knew I wanted to teach, but I am really surprised by how impactful the work can be. It's funny, I had a friend after high school that saw that in me and told me I should be a teacher," Ruano added. She said her teaching style and philosophy have changed since she has been at the College. "So initially, I wanted to work with just art focused majors, however, many of the people who signed up for my classes were completing an arts distribution credit for their degree. As a result, I have been exposed to students from all over the College, and it has been amazing to see how they can develop their eye in the course of a semester and capture things that are exquisite," Ruano said. She still works with fine arts students, but she thoroughly enjoys working with non-majors who gain concepts beyond what they expected to learn. She hopes all of her students will learn important skills when they finish her classes. Ruano said one of the most important will be becoming a better observer. "Observational skills are really important. They are transferable to any way of life. I try to teach my students how to be observant and how to process visual information," she added. Meantime, Ruano has taken advantage of opportunities the College provides to part-time faculty members. She was a Smithsonian Faculty Fellowship recipient in 2023, and this year she was one of three Shoenberg Fellowship winners. Her work will focus on researching the different permanent collections of photographs made by people of color and depicting people of color that are stored in this region. She said she began investigating this work when she was a Smithsonian Fellow. Now she plans to delve more deeply and hopefully uncover all of the photographic collections. When Ruano is not teaching, she enjoys going to museums and watching movies. She also enjoys spending time with her nieces and nephews.1LenaRuano.gifattach/82de0034-7349-99f4-f5db-542fa01f35db/LenaRuano.giftn_0.gifattach/82de0034-7349-99f4-f5db-542fa01f35db/tn_0.gifdi_0.gifattach/82de0034-7349-99f4-f5db-542fa01f35db/di_0.gifEmployee News0130 79090

The LDI promotes the philosophy that people lead from where they are and, therefore, focuses on the participants' self-awareness of personality, vision, influencing, building relationships, and interactions with others. The cohort is open to all MC employees--faculty, staff, and administrators--and meets for nine day-long classes during the academic year. The program ends with each participant presenting his or her project that was self-selected and developed throughout the year on the morning of the graduation ceremony. Since 1992, 593 employees have graduated from the LDI with increased self-awareness and self-confidence, an increased network of colleagues and a sense of team bonding. The LDI always has and continues to be a program that promotes a one-college view, enhancing employees' abilities to contribute to student success. Be a part of the experience!

Participants emerge with new knowledge and a common set of skills and abilities that aid in a consistent manner of managing people at MC. Manage yourself, manage others, and manage within the MC system. The program consists of eight day-long classes during the academic year and is open to those who supervise at least one regular employee for whom they are responsible for disciplinary actions and annual performance evaluations. This definition includes traditional managers and supervisors, academic department chairs, deans, and administrators. Shift leads are not included in this group and it is suggested they participate in the Management Learning Pathway. While not a requirement, completion of MC Management is encouraged for all supervisors.
