Emilee Messer is the Administrative Assistant to Student Development and the Global Education and Missions Coordinator at Missouri Baptist University. Born and raised in Oklahoma, she graduated with a degree in Spanish and Global Engagement from the University of Oklahoma before completing a graduate program in Biblical Leadership at the Kanakuk Institute in Branson, Missouri. This path eventually led her to St. Louis, where she served as the Women’s Director of St. Louis KLIFE, a local nonprofit parachurch ministry. 

Since joining Missouri Baptist University in the summer of 2022, Emilee has thrived in her role, providing support to students navigating campus living and assisting various departments within the Student Development department with administrative tasks. Her days are filled with helping students and parents ease into on-campus life and lending a hand wherever needed across campus. 

Outside of her work at MBU, Emilee enjoys spending quality time with her husband, hosting movie marathons, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. You can find her at the golf course, on the pickleball courts, or spending time with her local church community.
