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 growing up led her to participate in acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to be a performer and write comedy, 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 captivated by animal care and worked to pursue that career instead.
Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she was involved with 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she departed from 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 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 founded 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 honoured 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 explores animal behaviour in a comedic fashion, with the help of experts across the world. In the first few months of her podcast, she was accompanied 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 nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
