Jeannine was my mentor when I started my Wachovia career in Internal Audit - July 1985. She was a wonderful person that knew so many people within Wachovia. I learned lessons from her that I still use some 30 years later.

In 1983 I transferred to the Winston Salem office and only knew a handful of people. Jeannine was part of my team and knew everyone at the bank. She made sure I met all of them! She was a wonderful teammate and I'll always be greatful for her kindness and support.

Jeannine was a good friend of my mothers and when I started with Wachovia in 1985 she insisted I ride in to work with her at least until I was familiar with the parking areas and the downtown area in general. She was a wonderful person and dedicated to Wachovia through all her years.
