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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;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,&#34; Ruano said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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&#39;s in Fine Art from the University of California, Irvine. She began studying video arts, but then switched her focus to photography.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;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,&#34; Ruano said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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, &#34;It&#39;s been the most fulfilling work I&#39;ve ever done. And I was really surprised by that.&#34;&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;Like I knew I wanted to teach, but I am really surprised by how impactful the work can be. It&#39;s funny, I had a friend after high school that saw that in me and told me I should be a teacher,&#34; Ruano added.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;She said her teaching style and philosophy have changed since she has been at the College.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;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,&#34; Ruano said.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;&#34;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,&#34; she added.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;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.&#60;/p&#62;&#13;&#10;&#60;p&#62;When Ruano is not teaching, she enjoys going to museums and watching movies. She also enjoys spending time with her nieces and nephews.&#60;/p&#62;</story_body><attached_files><attachmentcount>1</attachmentcount><attached_file><file><rawname>LenaRuano.gif</rawname><href>attach/10484eba-a454-5b04-d1db-cc0e8164a7b4/LenaRuano.gif</href></file><thumbnail><rawname>tn_0.gif</rawname><href>attach/10484eba-a454-5b04-d1db-cc0e8164a7b4/tn_0.gif</href></thumbnail></attached_file></attached_files><display_image><rawname>di_0.gif</rawname><href>attach/10484eba-a454-5b04-d1db-cc0e8164a7b4/di_0.gif</href></display_image><category_name>Employee News</category_name><submitter_email>elizabeth.feldman@montgomerycollege.edu</submitter_email><submitter_phone>301-646-8551</submitter_phone><story_summary/>

Faculty members who expect to use the Assessment and Testing Centers for in-person testing are invited to attend. The workshop will focus on RegisterBlast, the platform faculty will use to submit, edit, and retrieve their tests and students will use to make their testing appointments. Tips will be shared to facilitate a seamless testing process and a positive experience for faculty and students. Staff will be ready to answer questions from individual faculty members. We will also share resources on using HonorLock, the third-party service for online proctoring.
