Ms. Bruno is also an advisor for two different extracurricular clubs at High Tech: Culinary Club and Skills USA. Both clubs are important to Ms. Bruno, since they encourage students from all different majors to appreciate not only the culinary world but their area of study as well. Ms. Bruno has had a passion for the food service industry since childhood. Since then, she has held almost every job in the food service business; she still actively works in the field when not teaching in the classroom.
