Greetings all! My name is Nikki Jagow and I am pleased to be coordinating the efforts for Cooperative Education at the J. Everett Light Career Center. As a dedicated employee and parent of two former JEL students, it is my sincere desire to see students established in a WBL experience that will be mutually beneficial to their employer and future career pathway.
I have been working in public education for over 10 years with a primary focus on parent and community engagement. Joining the JEL family has allowed me the opportunity to spend more time with students in pursuit of their future dreams and to assist in that decision making process (which is absolutely the best part).
I attended Indiana State University and then University of Southern Indiana for Community and Public Health. I am married with 3 children and a fantastically chubby rescue pit mix, Peter (who LOVES to come to the JEL Vet Class). I love to spend time with friends and family-and to see my kiddos (from school and home) compete in sports, sing in musicals and win a debate. Their enthusiasm is contagious!
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions-I truly look forward to hearing from you!
