Fundraising Professionals of the Year Awards Winner Q-and-A: Margaux Pagán

FS: Do you have any heroes/role models (either personally or professionally)? Who are they, and why do you look up to them?

MP: Personally, my father is my hero. That sounds so cliché, but it's true. He came from a not-so-good area and fought hard to "make it." I admire his will to fight through any obstacles. He's taught me that no feat is too large and there is no such thing as barriers, just the ones you put there. He's pretty awesome!
