Moreau had an internship with Bisbano and Associates, an architectural firm with an office in Providence.
Roger Williams University said, "Her leadership, mentorship, and spirit touched the lives of many."
She worked at the MacColl YMCA in Lincoln, where she was a camp counselor, arts and activities lead and camp coordinator.

She added that Meta's former CMO, Gary Briggs, will serve as interim head of marketing during her leave. "Earlier this year-just weeks into my dream job-I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. We moved to SF on days' notice for treatment, arriving Super Bowl Sunday," Rouch wrote. "For the past five months, I've been undergoing chemo at UCSF while leading our marketing team. It's been the hardest season of life-for me, my husband, and our two young kids." OpenAI Hires Instacart CEO Fidji Simo as Head of Applications Rouch joined OpenAI in December after serving as Coinbase's CMO.
