My name is Diana Tylicki and I absolutely love being a part of the amazing staff of Polo Ridge Elementary School as one of the School Counselors! I was born and raised on Long Island in New York and moved to the Charlotte area in 2010. In 2006, I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Fordham University (GO RAMS!) and my Master of Science degree from CACREP accredited Long Island University: C.W. Post in 2008. Prior to coming to Polo Ridge, I gained experience as a counseling intern on all academic levels, volunteered for a non-profit organization that worked with children in the foster care system, taught preschool and worked as the Education Specialist on an Inpatient Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Unit at a hospital in uptown Charlotte. I am a huge fan of the NY Giants!! I also love ladybugs, Harry Potter, reading and playing with my silly dog, Sadie. My husband, Mike, and I love to stand up paddle-board in the summertime and travel whenever we can. My son, Benjamin, was born in June 2016 and my daughter, Zosia, was born on the same day as her brother in 2019! They are definitely the coolest things to happen to my life so far! I never say no to french fries, popcorn or a "please" and/or "thank you". But most of all, I am so thrilled to spend another year with my partner in crime, Mrs. Stevenson, and the wonderful students at Polo Ridge!
