Overview

My name is Shelby Tobler.I started preschool in 1989 and graduated from

high school in 2001. I was home-schooled all the way through.

I first went to college at Leeward Community College in 2002 and I graduated with my B.S. in Family Resources at UH Manoa in 2008.

When I finish my Master’s degree, I will be a secondary education English teacher.
