Hello!

Julieta

Hi, my name is Julieta, and I’ve had the privilege of working at Discovery Education Station in various roles along my journey through medical school. From serving as a Site Supervisor and Provider to working as a Social Media Tech, each experience has shaped my vision of the world and filled me with hope for the future. Working with children through both the CLTS and IRIS programs has been one of the most rewarding parts of my journey.

It’s been an honor to witness their growth and to be a part of their lives. Every day I’ve spent at Discovery has taught me so much more than I ever imagined. While I continue to work as the Social Media Tech, I know that no matter where life takes me, I will always carry Discovery and the incredible kids I’ve had the privilege to work with in my heart.

Megan

Hi! Megan is dedicated to her work with children! With her extensive experience and background in child care, parents can feel confident entrusting their little ones to her care. 

Parents!  Come and bring your 1-5 years olds to Tiny Tykes class on Saturdays at 11am with Megan and enjoy this fantastic opportunity to learn and grow in a nurturing environment.

Scott

Hello! I'm Scott. I hold a Business degree from UW-Stevens Point and have a background in retail management, banking, and financial services. Before joining Discovery Education Station, I spent 19 years with the Marshfield Clinic Health System YMCA.

I "discovered" Discovery in 2023, and it has been a true pleasure to work with both youth and adults who benefit from and thrive through our caregiving programs and supportive services.

Ana

Hi, I'm Ana, and I’m proud to serve as a CLTS provider at Discovery Education Station. I’m deeply passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of the children I work with. Whether it’s sharing a smile, offering a listening ear, or simply being present, I strive to create a space where every child feels valued, supported, and safe. I believe that patience and trust are the foundation for meaningful growth, and I truly enjoy building strong, lasting connections with my students.

Watching them learn, grow, and thrive is incredibly rewarding, and I feel so fortunate to be part of their journey. Every day brings a new opportunity to make a difference, and I’m excited for all that lies ahead!

Kaylee

Hi! I’m Kaylee—animal lover, chaos wrangler, and proud caretaker of a tiny, lovable zoo. I take care of two sugar gliders, five chinchillas, two axolotls, one sketchy newt, an alarming number of goldfish, two angelfish, and Peter—my best friend, travel buddy, and the undeniable diva bunny of the squad. Peter’s basically famous. I’m just here to carry the snacks and clean up the fan mail.

At Discovery, I get to live my dream—talk about animals, make people laugh, and do what I love. It’s fun, meaningful, and occasionally fish-soaked. And I owe it all to one person:

Linda – The Boss Who Built Discovery (and Might Rule the Galaxy Next) 👑🐇⚔️

Linda didn’t “start” Discovery—she commanded it into existence using caffeine, chaos, and elite-grade sarcasm. She’s the general, the glue, and probably the reason we haven’t been overrun by goldfish (yet).

She leads with heart, humor, and a laugh that can either heal your soul or make you sprint depending on how much trouble you're in. She turns messes into memories and disasters into hilarious stories.

Working with her is like starring in a wholesome sitcom directed by a drill sergeant with glitter. If she ever runs for president? Peter’s her VP. And yes—I’d vote. Twice. Maybe three times.
