Brought into the world in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for most of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her passion for comedy growing up saw her to participate in acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to be a performer and write comedy, but another ambition was fulfilled when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and strived to pursue that career instead.
Alice started her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she worked on 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she departed from the Zoo life to manage a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, decide to go back to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she came back to England, she returned to Zookeeping, and became a Carnivore Keeper at Shepreth Wildlife Park, where she remained for nearly 5 years.
During this time, she founded the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a not-for-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn from each other through visiting other collections. She has spoken about the programme at the ABWAK Symposium and the BIAZA Annual Conference and the organisation is honoured to be BIAZA Endorsed and supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, searching for a creative outlet, Alice launched the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that examines animal behaviour in a comedic fashion, with the help of experts across the world. In the first few months of her podcast, she was accompanied by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and hopes to continue talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
