My name is Mara de Luca Funke (that’s FUNKY) and I offer research-focused consultative services that will bring your organizational plans into the future. I launched Intersectional Inquiry to bring the excitement of multi-dimensional data interpretation to growing organizations. I use an equity-focused lens to shine the light on the meeting points between data and people.
I live in the Phoenix Valley and have been here since 2007 when I finished my degree. I chose Phoenix because I love the outdoors, the sunshine, I speak Spanish.
When I’m not working, I spend my time hiking, cooking, and doing yoga. I’m a frequent volunteer in Jewish and queer spaces, as well as representing parents of twice exceptional children – kids who are gifted and also face learning challenges.
Half my family lives in Italy, so when I can, I travel. I grew up in Michigan (GO GREEN) and have very strong roots there as well.
Get to know me some more by scheduling a 15-minute inquiry. I believe that personality is the most important factor in creating organizational plans that actually move. Let’s find out if we’re a good fit.
