My name is Sarah Fanning and I just moved from Cheyenne, WY. I spent the last 9 years in Wyoming, including many years spent at the University of Wyoming in Laramie. I received my Bachelors in Geology and a Graduate Certificate in Education from UW. I was working on an MS in Natural Science with a focus in Education at UW but will be transferring to UNL this fall to finish up, Go Big Red! I have had many interesting jobs during my time in Wyoming which varied from surveying trees and sagebrush, to digging up fossils, and being a ranger with the National Park Service. For the past three years, I have been a middle school teacher in Riverton and Cheyenne, WY. In these positions, I have taught Life and Earth Science, Engineering, Health, Careers, and a class of my own invention: Wyoming Outdoors. I have three crazy dogs that take up most of my time outside of work. I am an avid runner, hiker, and reader. I’m excited to explore the natural beauty of Nebraska and all that it has to offer!
