Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for most of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her love of comedy during her youth led her to attend acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to be a performer and write comedy, but another dream was fulfilled when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while going to University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and strived to pursue that career instead.
Alice began her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she was involved with 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she left 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 research Toucans and assist in Sloth research.
When she returned 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 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 sponsored 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 humorous 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 interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
