Born in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her passion for comedy growing up led 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 aspiration was to be a performer and write comedy, but another dream was realised when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while going to University. From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and strived to pursue that career instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she worked on 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, decide to return to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and assist in Sloth research.
When she came back to England, she returned to Zookeeping, and took on the role of 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 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 proud to be BIAZA Endorsed and sponsored 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 joined by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and aims to continue talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
