Hello my name is Stephanie Buhler and I am a new technician and science diver for Dr. David Kimbro. I recently received my Bachelors of Science in Zoology with a minor in Wildlife Ecology and Conservation from the University of Florida. Over the past three years I have had a few field ecology positions that have placed me from Sapelo Island, GA, Shark Bay, Western Australia, Bimini, Bahamas, to now Apalachicola Bay, Fl. I originally met Dr. David Kimbro at the UF Whitney Lab and became intrigued as I watched him and his crew, the “Hug-bro lab”, dedicate countless hours getting their Atlantic coastline experiment set-up. I am very excited to work under Dr. David Kimbro and expand my knowledge on predator-prey interactions in an oyster ecosystem. I am planning to start my Ph. D. this fall to create my own field projects tackling how the loss in top marine predators affects our coastal ecosystems.
