Meet the Team

Dr Javier

Dr Javier lived in Perth for the last 10 years but always wanted to move regional and fell in love with Exmouth after doing a locum in at Exmouth Vet Clinic earlier this year. Javier is a small animal vet and loves surgery but also enjoys challenging medicine cases. He has an interest in ultrasonography and hopes to do further training in that field soon. Javier has done a bit of cattle work in the past, spending time as a child on the family farm in Colombia.

In his free time Javier enjoys outdoors sports like mountain biking and snorkelling. He loves being a vet and having the skills to help animals and their owners when required.

Javier’s household consists of his beautiful wife, his 15 month old son, 2 cats and he hopes a dog will find him soon.

Amy Beck – Reception / Kennel Hand

Amy is originally from the UK but is now an Australian citizen and has lived in Exmouth for the last 7 years. She is very excited to be working towards her Certificate IV in Veterinary Nursing, as she has always loved animals.

Amy has worked in the whale shark industry for the last 5 years and most of her fun outside work revolves around the ocean too.

Photography, freediving, spearfishing and surfing are some of her favourite hobbies. She also loves making art and has a BA with Honours in Visual Arts. Her fur baby has just turned one and he is called Reggie. Reggie is a rescue Greyhound x Cattle Dog x Staffy, aka a “Warburton Special”!

Michelle Ioppolo – Reception / Nurse

Michelle is new the Exmouth Vet team and area! She has been a qualified Vet Nurse in which she spent working at a very busy clinic in Perth.

Nursing has been a big part of most of Michelle’s adult life and she wouldn’t change it for the world!

Her passions within the nursing career involve rescue work, dental procedures and Lion clips – or anything hands on !

The switch up to Exmouth is exactly what she had been looking for to continue to grow her passion for animal care, but still spend days beachside 😊
