Born in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for comedy growing up saw her to participate in 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 write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was realised when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University. From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and strived 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 manage a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, chose to return to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and assist in Sloth research.
When she came back to England, she returned 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 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, seeking a creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that examines 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.
