From Cristo Rey St. Martin classrooms to competitive careers in finance, these alumni are turning opportunity into impact. The Greenwood Project, founded in 2016, creates career pathways in financial services for Black and Latinx college students. Through rigorous training, scholars develop the technical and professional skills needed to succeed in finance. The program then partners with leading companies to place students in highly competitive summer internships across the country, with more than 70 percent of participants going on to work in the financial services industry.
Several Cristo Rey St. Martin alumni are part of this impactful program. Christopher Cervantes & Karen Mijango (Class of 2024), Kedar Cortes & Christian Flores (Class of 2025), Armando Gonzalez (Class of 2022), and Christian Pasillas (Class of 2023) have each been selected through a competitive process that includes resume screening, an AI video interview, and an aptitude assessment.
Their involvement in the Greenwood Project reflects their strong work ethic and ambition. As participants, they are gaining valuable experience, building professional networks, and preparing for successful careers while proudly representing the CRSM community. We are incredibly proud of these students for earning this opportunity and for the way they continue to represent Cristo Rey St. Martin with excellence, determination, and integrity.
