Bio
Franchesca Rybar
Justus has an unmatched personal drive that makes him a truly unique employee. I learned so much through managing Justus for 9 months-- he is innovative, passionate, and a true team-player. In re-planning a student summer-program, Justus took the lead on developing a Project Builder tool for any student to guide themselves through social impact work. I'm so proud and impressed by his professional career decisions since graduating and cannot wait to see what positive change he creates for his community.
