Funk is originally from Arkansas but attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill for undergraduate studies in biology. She went on to earn a Master of Medical Science in Physician Assistant Studies from Methodist University in Fayetteville, N.C.
Upon graduating from her master’s program, Funk served for seven years in the United States Army and was stationed at Fort Liberty in Fayetteville. She also holds a Doctorate of Medical Science from the University of Lynchburg in Lynchburg, VA.
Funk has served as a physician assistant for more than 17 years and has experience in acute care, emergency medicine, urgent care, diagnostic radiology and family medicine.

Funk is dedicated to helping people during both the happiest and hardest times of their lives.
“I aim to provide patient-focused, compassionate care to my patients,” she said in a press release.
