Brought into the world in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her love of comedy growing up led her to attend 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 going to University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and worked to take that path instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey 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 help with Sloth research.
When she returned to England, she returned 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 established 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 proud to be BIAZA Endorsed and supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, searching for a creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that explores animal behaviour in a comedic fashion, with the help of experts across the world. In the initial 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.
