Sara Beres serves as the Sheridan College Dental Hygiene Program Director. Prior to the director role, she served as a full-time faculty member in the dental hygiene department since 2008. Her teaching experience includes teaching preclinic and clinic to first-year dental hygiene students and clinic to second-year dental hygiene students. She has also taught Dental Anatomy, Dental Embryology and Histology, Oral Radiology, Radiology Lab, Office Practice, Clinical Dental Technology, Dental Materials, Dental Materials Lab, and Local Anesthesia Lab. She has also served on Faculty Senate, Team Academic Leadership, and several college committees.

She participates in community service and professional activities and is a member of the Wyoming Dental Hygienists’ Association, the American Dental Hygienists’ Association, and the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association. Sara has also contributed as a chapter author in three editions of the textbook “Clinical Practice of the Dental Hygienist,” which is considered the (a ?) cornerstone of dental hygiene education.

In her spare time, she likes to hang out with her husband, son, two dogs, two cats, 13 cows, five horses and one mule. If she is not wrangling all her “animals,” she enjoys being outside (hiking, riding 4-wheelers, riding horses, kayaking) in the Big Horn Mountains, organizing anything needed, and working on her “cabin.”
