Jennifer grew up in Oklahoma and then moved to California in 2010, after

Tennessee, where she graduated Magna Cum Laude. While working with a
family law attorney in Santa Barbara, California, Jennifer began attending the
paralegal program at U.C. Santa Barbara, and fell in love with the estate
planning field, and earned her Paralegal Certificate in 2012.

In the years following, Jennifer worked at estate planning firms in the San
Diego area while attending California Western School of Law. In law school,
Jennifer served as the President of the Estate Planning Society, and worked

advanced directive and power of attorney workshops. Jennifer earned her Juris
Doctorate in 2016.

After law school, Jennifer continued working to help families at a San Diego
law firm, assisting clients with their estate planning, and families dealing with
the administration of their estates. She joined the Shoup Legal Team in June
2017.

Jennifer enjoys having conversations with clients that allow them to be
comfortable with the estate planning process and addresses each of their
concerns. Jennifer also provides compassionate service to help families
through the probate process and during the trust administration after the
passing of a loved one.

Jennifer lives in beautiful Murrieta, California with her husband and son.
