Hailey Funke

Branch Professional

Growing up in Elkader, Iowa has deeply ingrained my love for small-town communities. After hesitantly taking a job in the restaurant industry during college, my love for people passionately grew. I graduated from Northeast Iowa Community College in 2007 with an associate’s degree in Early Childhood Development. After some life changes, I quickly switched gears and went back to Northeast Iowa Community College to obtain my associate’s degree in Accounting Specialist in 2013.

I recently joined the Foundations Wealth Partners/Raymond James team in February 2024. I look forward to experiencing continued learning and growth with the team. My communication skills along with a customer focus will be key elements for my role on the team. I am eager to get to know clients, assist them with their needs and satisfy clients request to best serve them.

Outside of work some of my hobbies include, reading, traveling, trying new recipes, relaxing in my hammock and gardening. Most importantly I enjoy spending time with my family and watching my son participate in his various activities.
