Sammy Simpson

speech language pathologist

At Joya since 2025

Sammy grew up in the western suburbs of Chicago and moved to Spokane in 2020 to be closer to extended family. After several years working in nonprofit and sales roles, she returned to school to pursue a career in speech-language pathology. Sammy first came to Joya as a practicum student and quickly discovered a passion for early intervention. Sammy feels privileged to partner with families to support their child’s development. Outside of work, she enjoys all things outdoors and spending time with family and friends.
