Born in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for the majority of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her passion for comedy growing up saw her to participate in acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, 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 started 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 go back to exotic animals, moving 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 stayed for nearly 5 years.
During this time, she established 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 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 launched 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 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.
