​​​​​​​Dr. Jenifer Presnick grew up in Inverness, Florida and graduated from Citrus High School in 2015 with her Associate of Arts (AA) degree by dual enrollment at the College of Central Florida. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from the University of Florida in 2018. She left the beautiful state of Florida to complete her Doctor of Optometry degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry in 2022.

As a student, she completed her externships in a variety of clinical environments with a focus in disease, primary care, pediatrics, contact lens fittings and pre/post operative care. She spent 3 months serving veterans at the Montgomery VA Medical Center which has been one of the most rewarding parts of her optometric experience thus far. Although she enjoys every aspect of primary eye care, she especially enjoys fitting contact lenses and providing care for families and pediatric patients. She is excited to join Bradford Eye Center to further her career and continue to learn every day.

Dr. Presnick is married to her high-school sweetheart, Kyle, and together they have a dog, Oliver, who they love spending time and exploring with. She is the youngest of four children and has eight nieces and nephews that she loves to spoil. Outside of spending time with family and friends, she and her husband enjoy cheering on the Florida Gators and spending time outdoors.
