“As a Cristo Rey student, I worked at BMO Harris Bank as a teller. I was good at it because I cared about getting people into a better financial position. Because I was exposed to that experience at such an early age, I knew I wanted to work in banking for the rest of my life. I studied finance in college and once I graduated, when I was thinking about what company should I work for, I considered the companies that Cristo Rey works with -- the companies that are already investing in the community -- the companies that are already investing in diverse talent like me.” - Saul Hernandez '13 Bank Manager, BMO Harris Bank
