Meet the Staff

​​​​​​​Dr. Fortier has been practicing veterinary medicine since 2004. She is a graduate of Michigan State University where she spent 8 years; four playing softball for the Spartans and four in veterinary school. Despite growing up in California, she chose MSU for her collegiate experience and not because she enjoys cold weather!

After school, she spent a year in Northern Virginia in a small animal rotating internship. In this role, Dr. Fortier was able to learn from various specialists and become familiar with a very diverse clientele.

Since that time, she spent 10 years practicing in downtown Washington, D.C. She enjoyed the fast-paced city life and exploring all the city has to offer. The relationships she formed with patients and owners are what she values most about her years working in the District. These bonds are what motivated her to become a practice owner.

Dr. Fortier and her family moved to Ashburn in March of 2016 where she enjoys spending time with her husband, two daugthers, three dogs and one cat.

Blair was born and raised in northern Louisiana. She showed a love for animals from a young ​​​​​​​age, and began riding horses when she was 6 years old. This love of horses is what brought her to the Leesburg area where she was a working student at a top-quality dressage farm for the past two years before joining the team here at Goose Creek. Blair is currently enrolled at NOVA Community College. In her free time, she enjoys playing with her rambunctious rescue puppy, Roux. Along with her dog, she has a horse named Paris. Blair is excited to welcome all the animals that will come through the door everyday!

Jen graduated with honors in Veterinary Technology at NOVA Community College in 2000. She has had a lifelong calling to help animals and the people who love them. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her family, reading, and hiking with her dog. She shares her home with a cat named Dirt, a mutt named Harley, and two saltwater aquariums containing clownfish and corals.

Nancy Muskett is our Goose Creek Veterinary Hospital receptionist. Nancy typically is the first person you will encounter when you visit the veterinary hospital. Between greeting clients and their pets to answering phone calls, Nancy is responsible for ensuring the front desk operations runs smoothly.

In addition, Nancy is responsible for setting appointments, updating patient charts, retrieving prescriptions, processes payments, and alerts the veterinary or the technicians to the client’s arrival.

Nancy joined the Goose Creek Veterinary Hospital Team in 2018, following her retirement as the Director of Marketing for SIGMA.

Nancy was born in Washington, D.C. and grew up in McLean, Virginia and has always had a strong affection for dogs.

Nancy attended George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia and earned a Bachelor of Science.

Nancy enjoys a good Netflix binge but can also be found traveling down 81 with her husband to visit her daughter Katey at Virginia Tech University.

Jillian grew up in central New Jersey. Her love of animals began at a young age growing up with cats, dogs, and even a litter of rottweiler puppies! Jillian graduated from Towson University with a degree in Elementary and Special Education, and is currently a 4th grade teacher with Loudoun County Public Schools. When she's not working, Jillian loves to spend time with her puppy, Nova. Jillian loves being part of the Goose Creek family and sharing her love with all of the four legged friends that come through our doors!

Jamie was born in New York but moved to Florida at a very young age. She was raised in the sunshine state with memories of running around catching lizards, frogs, tadpoles and anything else she could get her hands on. Her love and passion for animals was always apparent to everyone around her. At a young age she convinced her parents to have pets of all different kinds, ranging from dogs, rats, hampsters, Guinea pigs, bunnies, fish and lizards. Jamie began horse back riding at a young age. Being on a farm was more than just riding; it was learning how to clean, care for and train the horses and that is what drove her admiration for animals over the edge. As a teen she moved with her family from Florida to northern Virginia where she began high school and did competitive and high school cheerleading. She later moved on and studied animal science, nutrition and agriculture at West Virginia University. She remained on the deans list for many semesters and finished out her college career with a 4.0. Her hopes and dreams are to learn about all different varieties of animals while also helping to heal and care for all that she comes in to contact with. She only hopes that she can help impact the lives of all the four legged friends she meets as they have done for her.
