MEET THE TEAM

A little sneak-peek at MESI's all star team!

Emily Wagner
Executive Director
A rock star in every sense of the word, Emily Wagner has dedicated over 20 years of her life to MESI and all she got was one of our stupid shirts 🙄. Well, that and a diet Coke addiction. Emily does it all, from grant writing to fundraising to client interaction.  Every day she spends at the shelter is an inspiration to the rest of us- even when we're begging her to take a day off. When she's not at MESI wrangling the rest of us to do our jobs, she's at home wrangling her chickens and goats and three children- wait- two children. And husband. 😉​

Monique Robinson
Case Manager, LMSW
Some people say that winning isn't everything, but we're pretty sure they never met Monique. We can't confirm or deny, but rumors are that Monique once challenged a basketball coach to a pickup game in the parking lot after a bad call. She won. (The coach was her husband, and let's be real- he should have totally known better 🏀​.) Here at MESI Monique Case Manages women and families, helping remove the barriers between them and housing stability!

Amanda Crisp
Case Manager
Amanda is something of a superhero. And we're not just saying that because she's the one writing all of these. At least, you can't prove that. She's received incredible positive reviews from coworkers, friends, and acquaintances alike such as "Didn't you wear that shirt earlier this week?" and "I think there's actually, literally something wrong with you." Once, her office was so messy that when she cleaned it, Monique thought she quit. Amanda maintains that there's a method to her madness, but the jury is still out on whether that's true. Regardless, she Case Manages the men at the shelter like a champ and she loves what she does, so MESI is probably stuck with her for a while.

Aubree Hoffman, BSW
House Manager
Every team needs a glue, someone that holds everything together. Aubree, our House Manager, is the glue that holds together our day-to-day. She wears many different hats between overseeing our Night and Weekend staff, coordinating donations, supporting volunteers, helping keep fundraising efforts moving, and still somehow finding time to handle the countless unexpected tasks that come her way. Through it all, Aubree treats every client with exceptional care and genuine respect. Her steady presence and dedication help to create a safe, welcoming environment for everyone who walks through our doors.
