Denise Michelle Breinig-Glunz

Social work is one of the few professions in which we are allowed to bring our whole selves to the work. Field education can be the start of that experience and one that can bring profound change to both ourselves and the clients we serve.

Previously, she was the social work supervisor at the Resource Center for Separating and Divorcing Families at the University of Denver.
