Founder
Amy Messner
My name is Amy Messner, and I am a wife, mother of two, and the owner of TigerSide IGP. I graduated summa cum laude in 2014 with a Bachelor's Degree from Columbia College in Psychology, with a minors in Education, Sociology, and Intergenerational Studies. TigerSide is a labor of love between me and my friends, Stephanie Ross and Bonnie Ardrey. We were inspired by the beauty of Intergenerational programs and continue to work to have the best and most unique program in Columbia, Missouri.
