Nursing Staff

Jen Foreman, (B.S. in Animal Biotechnology & Conservation) Nurse Supervisor

Since Jen moved to Morgantown in 2010 with her fiancee Joel and her adopted cat “Snuggles.”, she has had many positive changes to both her personal and professional life. Professionally, we have seen Jen start with AMC as a veterinary nurse and quickly become nurse manager. Personally, Jen and Joel got married as well as adding rescues "Sadie" and "Gizmo" (who is from our own adoption program!).

Jen has a B.S. Degree in Animal Biotechnology and Conservation from Delaware Valley College. While working on her degree, Jen concentrated in Small Animal Science and has put this knowledge to use through her experiences as a veterinary nurse. Jen enjoys working with pets and their owners as well as the excitement that every day brings when working in the veterinary field. We look forward to watching Jen continue to learn and grow within the veterinary field. She is a great fit here at AMC!

Beth Hollingshead, (B.S. in Biology) Veterinary Nurse

Beth is orginially from Moundsville, WV. Beth has been with AMC since 2007 when she and her husband moved to Morgantown so he could obtain his master's degree in an art related field. Being animal lovers, they share their home with two dogs, "Gracie" and "Miss T. Neville," both of whom are rescues.

Beth brings with her a wealth of knowledge that comes from years of experience working with animals in both hospital and sanctuary settings. She shows enthusiasm for learning, has a great sense of humor and has proven herself a great addition to the AMC staff!

Emily Ellis (B.S. Animal & Nutritional Sciences) Veterinary Nurse

Emily has lived in West Virginia all her life. Originally coming from Chapmanville, WV, Emily came to Morgantown like so many others – to attend WVU in pursuit of her degree. Emily is no stranger to the veterinary field, as she began volunteering at an animal hospital in high school, which eventually turned into a full-time position upon her graduation from college.

Emily currently shares her home with Rae, an Australian Shepherd mix, and cats Norman and Bo Diddly. Emily hopes to attend veterinary school to possibly specialize in exotic animal medicine. We look forward to working with Emily and helping her achieve her goals in the veterinary field.

Jackie Metheny (M.S. Biology) Veterinary Nurse in Training

Jackie grew up on a farm near Morgantown where she enjoyed the company of numerous dogs, cats, horses and cows. She went to Erie, PA, to get her Bachelors in Biology (Gannon University), then to Greensboro, NC, for a Masters in Biology with an emphasis in population genetics and animal behavior. As part of her academic projects, she's worked with bats, flying squirrels, honey bees, stalk-eyed flies, and mice. She gained dog handling experience in Laurel, MD, where she trained her dog for therapy work with Fidos for Freedom.

Jackie returned to Morgantown a few years ago to be closer to family. She enjoys working with the many pets and clients we see at AMC, the continuing challenges of the veterinary nursing field, and the sheer fact that each day brings something new and exciting! Jackie's enthusiasm and natural aptitude for this field have made her a great addition to the AMC team.

Jennifer is a Morgantown native and is a recent graduate of the Animal Science & Nutrition Program at WVU (Congratulations, Jenn!!!!)and would like to enroll in a Veterinary Technician program following graduation and ultimately vet school. Although Jenn does not have much experience in the veterinary field, here at AMC, we enjoy watching people learn and grow within our practice. In the short time she has been with us, she has shown herself to be a fast learner and a compassionate caregiver.

Jenn shares her home with two cats - "Kai" and "Moku" (adopted from our adoption program!). She also has a mixed breed puppy named "Meeko", who is busy keeping her grandma company. We are excited to have Jenn as part of our team and look forward to helping her along her journey.
