Laurianne is a veteran, having been commissioned as a personnel officer and serving on active duty in the United States Air Force (USAF) at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia.  While on active duty, Laurianne did a cross between traditional human resource management work, ceremonial duties, and initial response case management.  She served as a base-level Sexual Assault Response Coordinator, Victims Advocate, and Suicide Prevention unit coordinator.  Although Laurianne separated from the USAF as a Captain, she remains happily married to a retired military officer and lives in New Braunfels, Texas with her spouse and two children.
