“Looking back at little Jennie’s dreams… I’ve accomplished so many of them.”

Even as a child, Jennifer Zolman always had a vision…a picture of where she
wanted to live…of what she wanted to be. The future was always clear—to help
people live healthier lives—even if one day the blackboard wasn’t.
Like many children, she first noticed that the teacher’s writing at the front
of the room was a little fuzzy. She struggled and compensated, got glasses,
and then one fateful day, journeyed to the eye doctor with her ever-present best
friend to get contact lenses.

“I had already known I wanted to do something medical or be a veterinarian or
something along those lines. And then when I put these contacts in my eyes,
it was so amazing to me that this little piece of plastic could totally change
my
world and my view of everything I was seeing.”

Throughout her youth, Jennifer was a natural leader, one that other children
just
seemed to follow. Now, established in her practice, she spends much of her time
focusing on pediatric eye health and treating young people, some
of whom are following her into optometric careers of their own.
