Prior to her time in San Diego, Lanoue served as the Associate Athletics Director of Development at the University of Southern Mississippi, where she was charged with increasing fan and alumni engagement and overseeing a portfolio of major gift and annual gift individuals, as well as leading premium seating sales and management for Southern Miss Football. Lanoue also had stops at the University of South Florida, where she worked in development and external affairs, and the University of Miami, where she specialized in events and ticket operations. Lanoue began her administrative career as Executive Assistant to the Director of Athletics at the University of South Florida, assisting with various functional duties in the areas of Human Resources, Sport Administration, and NCAA Committees and Championships. Lanoue is a member of the National Association of Athletic Development Directors, currently serving as an Executive Committee member, Women Leaders in Sports, and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education. Her involvement within collegiate athletics began as a Woman’s Soccer student-athlete at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette.
