Throughout her many years of service, what has impressed Therol most about Montgomery County Community College is the work ethic and dedication of its faculty, staff, and students. When she’s not helping students and educators, Therol enjoys spending time at home with her family, solving jigsaw puzzles, and playing scrabble.

Her biggest piece of advice for students is to “be intentional about the choices you make when it comes to the programs you pursue, how you engage with the College, and the friends you spend time with. The decisions you make today can affect the rest of your life.”
