Jessica Smith, LPN

Though it’s her favorite word, there are no “shenanigans” involved when it comes to Jessica’s work ethic. She finished high school early in order to get a jumpstart on her college career and worked full-time making mufflers for vehicles to put herself through college. Jessica began her education at Indiana University – Purdue University Fort Wayne and then obtained her LPN from Brown Mackie College. She worked for 10 years in long-term and assisted-living settings before deciding it was time for a career change. She started at Premier Nursing Academy as an instructor at the Fort Wayne location in October 2018 and hasn’t looked back.

Jessica enjoys the opportunity to mold our future certified nursing assistants (CNAs), but firmly believes that her students should have as much fun learning as she has teaching.
