Jennifer Valentina settled in Utah initially due to her love of animals. After obtaining her second college degree in Zoo Animal Technology in Florida, she moved to Utah in 1999 to work at the Tracy Aviary. 15 years later, she retired from animal care to spend more time with her young children. It did not take long for Jennifer to get back out into the workplace, where she tried her hand at teaching and even delivering the mail. When a position opened up at Pearson Butler in reception, she tapped into her experience working reception at a doctor’s office in college and quickly became indispensable to the law firm and, by extension, Elysium. She spent five years as the Billing Specialist for Elysium. While this work kept her busy, it didn’t fulfill her need to be helping clients directly. When the opportunity to be the Funding Coordinator was presented to her, she jumped at the chance. Now she spends her days helping clients bridge the gap between their Estate Plans and their retirement and investment goals.
