Sheri Thompson

Sheri believes detasseling is not only a job that instills good work ethic, commitment, and responsibility, but also builds lasting relationships along the way for the crew members! Sheri has been with S&J Detasseling since 2012. She started out leading the Doniphan/Giltner crew and has been a bus driver/crew supervisor for the Aurora crew since 2014. Sheri is a Speech-Language Pathologist at the Aurora Public Schools where she also coaches high school girl’s wrestling and middle school track. She will beginning her 28th year in education this upcoming school year.

Karol Nachtigal

Karol has been an S&J crew supervisor and bus driver since 2017. Building relationships with the kids and seeing their relentless work ethic day after day makes it a very rewarding experience. The other 11 months of the year, Karol is an Administrative Assistant at Aurora High School. She enjoys seeing many of the same faces from detasseling in the halls at school everyday!
