Welcome

Hi! Thanks for dropping by. I'm Ms.Toruno and I'm honored to be the Health Academy Lead Teacher.

 

My background:

 

I've been a high school teacher for a little over a decade, but I've been teaching in one capacity or another for much longer. While I was in college, I worked as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT). I absolutely loved the job and working in Emergency Medical Services (EMS). One of my primary responsibilities was training incoming employees and overseeing quality improvement/quality assurance.

 

After leaving EMS, I became a flight instructor. Although I do not work as a flight instructor anymore (I just don't have the time now that I'm a Mom and high school teacher) I still enjoy aviation, fly occasionally and maintain active flight instructor certification.

 

I am credentialed to teach: Health Science and Medical Technology, Social Science and Earth & Space Science. Before coming to Foshay, I worked as a Social Studies teacher at an alternative high school for several years.

 

My hobbies include reading, spending time with my family, travel and cooking.

 

Courses I teach are:

 

-Foundations of Biotechnology: Syllabus

-Clinical Medical Science: Syllabus

-Cell Cycle: Syllabus

 

Welcome letter: Welcome Letter

 

I'm always happy to chat via email, schoology message or in person if you ever have questions about any of my courses or the health academy.
