COMMUNITY WELL-BEING

Interns Ready to Learn

Martin Marietta headquarters in Raleigh welcomed four students from Durham, North Carolina’s Cristo Rey Research
Triangle High School in August. Beginning at the start of classes and continuing through the remainder of the 2023-2024
school year, Jasmine Medina, Amy Abigail Ginori-Flores, Sergio Arenas and Randy Ascencio became interns with the
company’s corporate Information Services, Human Resources, Talent Acquisition and Communications teams.

Throughout the course of the program, each student will complete a two-month rotation with the above-mentioned
teams. Cristo Rey’s true goal is to provide all student participants with exposure to a host of professional careers in the
hope that it will lead to higher educational and career aspirations.

Arenas, a junior at Cristo Rey, said he is in the process of narrowing down his college options, but would like to attend a
state university with a strong engineering program.

Cristo Rey Intern Sergio Arenas reviews resumes while working with
Martin Marietta’s Talent Acquisition team. Arenas hopes to one day
become an infrastructure engineer.

“I was speaking with a family member about college-level classes, and when he started to speak about engineering
courses, I just got really interested,” he said. “I think I’d really like to become an infrastructure engineer.”

Speaking further about his work as an intern, Arenas said Martin Marietta was providing him ample opportunities to
develop the base skills needed to follow an engineering path.

“I’ve learned how important communication can be,” the 16-year-old said. “I’ve learned how to organize information so
that it’s easier to present to others. Working with the Communications team was the most engaging assignment, but all
of the teams have been great. In Talent Acquisition, I spent a lot of time reviewing resumes and now, I feel like I’ll have a
better understanding of what recruiters are looking for when I start to write my own resume.”
