🌟Please help us welcome Samantha Platz to our Falcon Family! She will be joining us as one of our Speech Language Pathologists! "My name is Samantha Platz, and I am very excited to be joining the Falcon Family as one of your new Speech Language Pathologists. I was born and raised in Kenosha/Pleasant Prairie and am a proud graduate of Tremper High School. My time as a student-athlete at Tremper led to playing collegiate volleyball at both Northern Michigan University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville. Following the completion of my B.A., I pursued an enriching graduate program at the University of Northern Colorado. Wisconsin called me back home, and it’s here that I’ve built a life with my loving husband and our two wonderful daughters, Savanna and Vivienne. When I’m not immersed in the world of speech pathology, you’ll find me cherishing family moments, playing volleyball or getting lost in a good book. With 13 years of diverse experience as an SLP—spanning Illinois and Wisconsin school districts, private clinics, in-home therapy, Early Intervention, and hospital settings—I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative power of speech. Observing my students’ progress and celebrating their achievements is what truly ignites my passion and dedication to making a positive impact in their academic and personal journeys. I’m excited to embark on this next chapter with you all while continuing to make a difference in the lives of our students!"
