She graduated from Prescott High School in 1978 and attended the University of Arizona where she graduated with multiple honors, including being named the Outstanding Chemistry Senior. As an undergraduate in Chemistry, she met her husband who was likewise a chemistry student and native Arizonan for at least five generations. She was fortunate enough to remain at the University of Arizona College of Medicine in Tucson for medical school and residency where her husband worked as an environmental engineer. 

During medical school and residency, she once again received honors in multiple courses, had research projects with publications, and enjoyed the honor of being chief resident.

Excelling in her profession, she is board-certified in anatomic and clinical pathology by the American Board of Pathology (ABPath). The mission of the ABPath is to promote the health of the public and advance the practice and science of pathology by establishing voluntary certification standards and assessing the qualifications of those seeking to practice the specialty of pathology.

Pathology is a branch of medical science that involves the study and diagnosis of disease through the examination of surgically removed organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and in some cases, the whole body. Pathologists are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and management of diseases by laboratory methods. 

In her free time, Dr. Koehler enjoys moments with her husband and two daughters, traveling, gardening (mainly flowers and tomatoes), hiking, and sharing meals with family and friends.
