Brought into the world in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for comedy during her youth saw her to attend acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's aspiration was to write comedy and be a performer, but another dream 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 worked to pursue that career instead.
Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she was involved with 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 return to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she came back to England, she made her way back to Zookeeping, and became a Carnivore Keeper at Shepreth Wildlife Park, where she remained 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 gain knowledge 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, seeking a creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that explores animal behaviour in a humorous 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 interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
