Dr. Jessica Wellette is one of the most intentional, supportive, and nurturing educators that I have ever had the privilege of learning from. She assessed each of our strengths and weaknesses, and intentionally guided us toward growth and reflection during our weeks together. She appreciates each student for their unique perspective and makes everyone feel welcome. It is clear that she loves her work as an NP and loves her work as a teacher. She had so many real-life stories to make her teaching come alive! My confidence grew increasingly under Dr. Wellette’s guidance. She exhibits all things I strive to be as an RN, NP, and person. She leads with her heart and practices what she preaches. I will doubtless be a better provider and person thanks to her influence. She is a light to all around her, both patients and students, and her impact cannot be overstated.

Dr. Wellette is an emergent clinical leader, fierce patient advocate, devoted mentor, and outstanding person. Her passion and drive for excellence is a valuable asset to students in a fast-paced learning environment and spans the clinical, research, and academic teaching spheres. She listens to understand and always seeks to expand her scope of knowledge. She holds genuine love and respect for people's well-being and models how to provide safe, evidence-based, and innovative client care.
