Our Staff

Beth:

Beth grew up on a small farm in Dorothy, NJ raising livestock and horses over the years, peppered with multiple dogs and cats, of course. Oldest of 11 children, her life never has a dull moment. She officially started working in veterinary medicine in private practice at the Somers Point Veterinary hospital in 2002. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the Richard Stockton College of New Jersey in 2004.  During her time in private practice, she transitioned from technician to lead surgery/anesthesia technician, to staff supervisor, and ultimately a hospital management position for several years. She has also worked in emergency medicine at the Red Bank Veterinary Hospital in Linwood. She is excited to have joined our team at Mainland Veterinary hospital in November 2015 when we opened our doors.

Beth’s current pet population is rather small, consisting of her dog "Leo", a Boston Terrier mix; 2 horses “Magic” and “Pippen” and 9 (or so) cats (depending on if they bring someone else home for dinner!

Outside of Veterinary medicine Beth enjoys DIY home improvement projects, Classic car shows, antiquing, art projects such as painting, drawing and clay sculpture, gardening and just being outside (when its warm!). When not at work, she enjoys catching up with her family, bowling and movies with her little brothers, girl nights and spending time with her husband – watching TV or sitting around the fire pit with a nice glass of wine…doing absolutely nothing but relaxing and watching the flames!

Noelle:

I was raised in South Jersey and I love calling it home. I’ve always had a special love for animals and after working in the casino for several years I decided to begin my journey in vet med in 2020. I have experience working in shelter medicine, emergency and with large animals. I’ve been a surgical nurse for all kinds of animals like goats, cows, pigs, birds and even a hamster! Cats are my favorite patients and I strive to create a better experience for them when they visit the vet. I’ve always wanted to have a farm of my own but right now it’s my husband and I, our daughter that we welcomed in January 2024 and our 3 cats and flock of ducks! When I’m not petting every cat I see - I enjoy reading, my Peloton and visiting wineries and breweries.

Shara is a South Jersey native who has worked in the hospitality industry for 20 years. Her empathetic nature and love for animals brought her to Mainland.  In her free time, Shara likes to read, go for walks, and snuggle up with her two fur babies Kiwi and Bug.
