Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her passion for comedy during her youth saw her to participate in acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to write comedy and be a performer, 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 take that path instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL 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, chose to go back to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she returned to England, she made her way back to Zookeeping, and became a Carnivore Keeper at Shepreth Wildlife Park, where she stayed for nearly 5 years.
During this time, she established the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a non-profit organisation that allows Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn from each other through spending time at 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, seeking 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 joined by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and hopes to continue interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
