My name is Melissa Stevenson and I am one of the school counselors at Polo Ridge Elementary. This is my seventh year at Polo Ridge and I am so fortunate that I get to do a job I absolutely love! I was born and raised in Holyoke, Massachusetts (a small city in the western part of the state-- go Patriots and Red Sox!!!) and moved to Charlotte in August of 2014. I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education at Westfield State University and continued on to receive my master's degree in School Counseling there as well. I have experience working in all levels of school including higher education. I love being outdoors and can be found running, hiking, and walking my crazy pup, Nash, on any given day. I also love spending time on the beaches of Cape Cod and trying all of Charlotte's amazing local restaurants. I am so lucky to work at such an amazing school and I am looking forward to another great year!
