Jenny Becker, LISW

She/Her/Hers

Director of Field Instruction

Jenny has been with the UNI Social Work Department since 2014. Choosing to leave the field of direct practice with children, families, organizations and communities was not an easy one, but to have a larger impact on our client base by leaving a fingerprint, no matter how faint, on the social workers who come after her, is a gift. The attraction to this position was the opportunity to share her passion for the field and contribute to the learning of future social workers.
