Winkler received a BSF in Forest Management from the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 1978, an MSc in Forest Hydrology from the
University of Alberta in 1980, and a PhD in Forest Hydrology from UBC in 2001.[3]
Winkler says Star Trek inspired her to become involved with science. She also benefited from the science teacher she had during seventh grade.[4]
