Hi everyone! My name is Anne Bloomer and I’m a third-year Missionary and the Team Director at Columbia. I am originally from Chicago and I graduated from Harvard in 2023. I love doing anything active, reading, trying out new recipes, and I am on the hunt to find the best coffee shop in New York City. I am passionate about reaching souls for Christ and sharing the Gospel! My patron saint is St. Joan of Arc and I strive to embody her zeal, courage, and fortitude!

Hey CCM! I’m Jared, a FOCUS missionary from Maryland. I studied Computer Science at UMBC and spent four years in finance before answering God’s call to mission. I come from a big family with eight siblings and love reading, spike ball, and riding ATVs. I’m pumped to be back for my second year serving at Columbia!

Hello, my name is George French! I’m from Manassas, Virginia, and I studied physics and philosophy at the College of William and Mary (‘24). I spent nine months working for the Navy as a civilian scientist before the Lord called me to FOCUS. As I prepare for the fall semester, I’m most excited to begin sharing life with the students and modeling for them the love of Christ!

Hey everyone! My name is Nelly Hadlaw and I’m a first year FOCUS missionary at Columbia! I’m originally from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois and I just graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and an ML concentration. For fun I love doing anything active (especially outside), cooking, painting/drawing, and learning new things! I’m so excited to get to know all of you and share life in Christ (and memes) with everyone.
