Why I love working at TDC

It’s such a joy when I go in to see all the children at play, and I love seeing them on the move in a happy little line as they head from the classroom to our nature playground or the Rainbow Room. So fun!

Funniest/most memorable thing one of our students has said

Actually, it was an entire classroom of children deciding to call me Grandma after I’d stopped in a few times to touch base with classroom teachers and say hello to my grandson while there. They were so thrilled with their own humor!

More about me

While most of my career has been in HR leadership roles with IT (technology) firms, I have been involved on a part-time basis with The Discovery Center since 1992, when I married George Miller (TDC’s co-founder and president). My TDC work has mostly focused on HR support and consultation, but I have also managed facility projects such as expansions and upgrades. When not at work, I can often be found puttering or concocting something in the kitchen or combing through new finds at the public library. Travel is another passion; George and I especially enjoy it when we can combine it with our other passions (other cultures, people, food, and cooking).
