November 4, 2021
We are extremely excited to welcome Margaux Farrell to the “Root” family as our new Marketing Director. Margaux was previously a weekday morning news anchor at FOX61, where she also reported on special assignments. Margaux was an All-American swimmer at Indiana University, and then went on to earn a bronze medal in the 2012 London Olympic Games representing France, as she is also a dual-citizen. Margaux’s energy is off the charts, as is her desire to make an impact in non-profit behavioral health. She will be a huge asset to the organization as we continue to grow our services and reach broader communities.
