Missimo played youth soccer for Solar SC of Dallas, Texas, beginning at age five.

Missimo verbally committed to Texas when she was in seventh grade. She was the number one recruit for the class of 2021, but elected to graduate from Southlake Carroll High School in three years in 2020 and enrolled at the University of Texas in the fall of that year. She had offers to go pro out of high school from Arsenal and Manchester City, the latter of which she had trained with. She scored in her college debut on March 5, 2021, a 4–0 win over Texas State.

During her sophomore season in 2022, Missimo played in 17 games after suffering an injury early in the season that forced her to miss six games. Despite the absence, she led the Big 12 and set the Texas program record for assists in a season with 15, which ranked third in NCAA Division I that season. Texas won the Big 12 regular season championship and reached the conference tournament semifinals.
