Employee Spotlight: Jordan Novak

Did you know that Jordan Novak is originally from Minot, North Dakota, eh?



After growing up and spending his first year of high school in North Dakota, Jordan moved to Loveland and finished high school at Loveland High. After that, he decided to come to UNC for college. Jordan graduated from UNC in 2005 with a degree in business administration with an emphasis on computer information systems.


He currently works for the Information Management Technology department on the URSA team as a web developer. Jordan spends most of his time at work fixing and updating web applications, but he also looks at current applications and where to add to their functionality and fixes account issues. Jordan’s favorite thing about working here is being able to work with his coworkers in achieving high level goals. He really likes the program and the people who work here.


If he could trade jobs with anyone else in the world, he would be a private jet tester because he would just want to fly in private jets all day long and travel the world in luxury. Jordan’s girlfriend is named Kimberli and they live North of Greeley in Nunn. They have two pet mules, (half horse half donkey) names Bert and Ernie. Jordan recently purchased a house in Evans and will be moving in June 3rd! CONGRATS JORDAN!!!


Jordan enjoys four wheeling, playing video games, camping, swimming and pretty much any type of outdoor activity. Some advice that Jordan wants to give everyone reading this article is to “always eat your vegetables!”

Employee Spotlight: Nicki Hessler

         

          Nicki Hessler is the administrative assistant in the Information Management Technology department and has been working here for one and a half years. She is also a recent graduate in dietetics. Nicki is originally from Sterling, Colorado but lives in Greeley now. She plans on moving to Sterling in July where she will start her internship rotations. Her internship rotations will be in the areas of community, food service and a clinicals. She will be doing this internship in Greeley, Fort Collins, Sterling, Fort Morgan and she must complete 1200 hours. Nicki said that her favorite part of working in IMT is that she gets to work with lots of fun people. If she could trade jobs with anyone in the world (Paul Sharp- sorry, it’s not you…) it would be Jillian off of the biggest Loser because she thinks that Jillian makes a really big difference in people’s lives. Nicki really wants to impact lives like Jillian does. A little known fact about Nicki is that her food can’t touch on her plate or she won’t eat it. Her last day working in IMT will be May 28th and we will all miss her dearly when she leaves for her internship. Her work has been excellent and much appreciated. We all wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors!
