More about me

Hello, my name is Melinda.

I am a teacher assistant in the Blue Room. I have been working at The Discovery Center since 2022 and have enjoyed every moment of it.

I have 20 years of experience in the medical field - 17 years at the University of Michigan Health System working in the pediatric ER and Motts Children’s Hospital. I am a huge advocate of higher education and am currently taking classes to obtain a degree in early childhood education.

I love the arts and sciences and enjoy photography, music, and the outdoors, spending time with children: reading a book, making arts and crafts or just taking the time to listen to the stories they share - makes my heart smile.
