Meet Our Team
Our team at Fresno Discovery Center comes from many backgrounds, but we share the same passion for science and community. Part scientist, part explorer and part kid-at-heart, we’re here to make every visit an adventure.
Melissa Telemeco
A former scientist and proud mom, Melissa brings curiosity and heart to everything she does. With experience at two other science centers, she knows how to make science fun for everyone. She may be the boss, but you can often find her at volunteer events, rolling up her sleeves, getting her hands dirty and making the team feel like family!
Missy Vander Werf
A longtime advocate for education and community engagement, Missy is passionate about creating accessible, hands-on learning experiences for families across the Central Valley and proudly volunteers her time in service of Fresno Discovery Center.
