Jeaneth was a highly valued member of the Finance & Operations Team of Pitcher Partners in Melbourne.

Jeaneth brought so much to so many with her spirit, great sense of humour and her strength of character to get the job done. Jeaneth’s generous nature meant she spent much of her free time helping others – including organising fund raising efforts for the under privileged in her native Philippine’s. She loved to travel and try new experiences. Her love of food and good company is the stuff of legends amongst her friendship group.

Jeaneth was highly respected by Partners and peers alike for her technical acumen, strong work ethic and the ability to connect with staff at all levels. Her tremendous support as a friend and co-worker to many is dearly missed.

Unfortunately Jeaneth passed away from a brain aneurysm. Whilst it was a catastrophic injury, her will to live was evident as she continued to fight for as long as she could.

Those lucky enough to have worked with her will continue to honour her memory in the firm. Jeaneth is missed by all that knew her and would be so proud to lend her name to this most worthy scholarship.
