Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for most of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for comedy during her youth led 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 aspiration was to be a performer and write comedy, but another ambition was realised when she began 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 started her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she was involved with 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she left 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 research Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she returned to England, she made her way back to Zookeeping, and took on the role of 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 spending time at other collections. She has presented on 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, 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 joined 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.
