Born in 1990 to a UK 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 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 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 worked on 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she left the Zoo life to run a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, decide to go back 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 made her way back to Zookeeping, and took on the role of 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 allows 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 honoured to be BIAZA Endorsed and supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, seeking a creative outlet, Alice created 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 initial 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.
