Laura Frank has spent the last 15 years working in the field of ministry. She began as a contractor for Chapel Services and as a director of religious education on several military installations, working for Catholic and Protestant congregations. The large religious diversity present within the military and among their families gave the first experiences of working with different faith communities on a large scale. She purposefully worked to build ecumenical and interfaith programming and service opportunities.

She started and lead theater and visual arts programs for the communities she served. Laura co-founded the first faith-based theater in Wilmington, the Upper Room Theatre. She is getting her degree in conflict management at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.
