🌻 About the Funkyard

Howdy!

It’s me, Anna Funk.

In 2021, I quit my day job. What’s better than a steady paycheck? Working as a freelance writer and communications consultant, playing with my dogs, trying to grow plants, and writing essays for you here.

I have a Ph.D. in prairie ecology and a background in science journalism. The essays you find here will likely be about neither.

Welcome to #TheFunkyard.

Give me the goods

When I’m not yelling into the internet about my plants and my feelings, I help mission-driven orgs with content strategy and science communication. Say hi at Ampliflora.com or find me elsewhere on the web.

The Funkyard is free, of course, but if you want to show some love, you can buy me a coffee. If everyone bought me a coffee, I’d quit my day job! Oh wait, I already did…
