Outside the Classroom
Dr. Buhler has enjoyed living in a lot of varied places: Canada, Japan, the Bay Area, Denver, Iowa, Fresno, and here in PDX (although she didn't really enjoy Fresno as much...). To relax, she reads a ton of fiction, binge-watches Netflix, gardens, and does the local chalk art festival every year. The thing that most students will remember about her, though, is her severe addiction to unsweet black iced tea! You will never see her in class without it.
