## Rayuwar farko da ilimi
Isler ta girma ne a Niagara Falls, New York sannan daga baya Virginia_Beach,_Virginia" id="mwJQ" rel="mw:WikiLink" title="Virginia Beach, Virginia">Virginia Beach, Virginia .  Sha'awarta ga ilimin taurari ta fara ne lokacin da take da shekaru 11 ko 12. Ta yi amfani da na'urar daukar hoto da 'yar'uwarta ta ba ta ranar haihuwarta, sai ta fara kallon taurari kuma ta yi karatu sosai don sana'a a kimiyya. Ba da daɗewa ba kafin ya tafi kwaleji, mahaifin Isler ya bar iyalin ya haifar da rikice-rikicen kudi wanda ya yi barazanar yanke karatunta.

Tun da take makarantar sakandare ba ta ba da digiri na astronomy ba, Isler ta yanke shawarar samun digiri a fannin kimiyyar lissafi. A lokacin da take karatun digiri, ta kammala karatun horarwa da yawa da ayyukan bincike na bazara da suka shafi ilimin taurari. Ta kammala digiri na biyu tare da digiri na farko na Kimiyya daga Cibiyar Nazarin Lissafi da Kimiyya ta Jami'ar Jihar Norfolk (DNIMAS), "...wani *shirin da aka yi niyyar horar da masana kimiyya marasa rinjaye waɗanda ke son kammala aikin digiri*. "

Bayan samun BS, Isler ta ci gaba da samun Master of Arts (M.A.) a fannin kimiyyar lissafi a Jami'ar Fisk a karkashin kulawar Keivan Stassun, sannan daga baya Master of Science (M.S.) a fannonin kimiyyar halitta daga Jami'ar Yale. Ta zama ɗaya daga cikin ɗalibai uku na farko na Fisk-Vanderbilt Master's-to-Ph.D. Bridge Program, shirin da aka tsara don kara yawan mata da 'yan tsiraru marasa wakilci tare da digiri na STEM.

A shekara ta 2014,  ta sami digirinta na PhD daga Jami'ar Yale a cikin Astronomy inda ta yi karatun astrophysics, musamman bincike kan blazars. Ta zama mace ta farko ta Afirka da ta sami Ph.D. a cikin astrophysics daga Yale. A cikin wata hira ta NPR, ta tuna musayar da ta yi da ɗaya daga cikin abokan karatunta a lokacin shekara ta farko a Yale. "Don haka akwai faranti a ko'ina," ta tuna. "Kuma ba zato ba tsammani, [wani fararen dalibi] a cikin aji na ya ba ni tarin farantinsa na datti... kuma ya ce, 'A nan, yanzu ka tafi ka yi abin da kake ciki da gaske don ka yi.'"  A cikin 2014, Isler ta buga rubutun digirin digirin ta, In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Lion: Probing the Disk-Jet Connection in Fermi Gamma-Ray Bright Blazars,  wanda ya sami kyautar Roger Doxsey Dissertation daga American Astronomical Society.
