Director. Creator. 22-year-old figuring it out in real time — and sharing everything along the way.
I'm Justo Oppus — Director of the Franciscan University Homeland Mission in Washington, D.C. I graduated from Franciscan University in 2024 with a degree in Economics and immediately got thrown into the deep end of real adult life. Moving to D.C., managing a team, figuring out finances, career navigation — all of it at once.
Nobody handed me a manual. I had to figure out budgeting, credit, networking, apartment hunting, and career stuff completely on my own. I made a lot of mistakes. GrowWithJusto is the resource I wish I had — practical, honest, and from someone who isn't that far ahead of you.
Personal finance, career moves, D.C. life, and general adulting. The content lives on YouTube, Instagram, and right here on the site. The goal is always the same: give you something you can actually use, not just inspiration.
I run a D.C. immersion program for Franciscan University students. Every semester, students come through D.C. for politics, nursing, and professional experiences. GrowWithJusto is a natural extension — a resource for young adults building their lives, wherever they are.
