Brought into the world in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her love of comedy during her youth saw 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 dream was to write comedy and be a performer, but another dream was fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while going to 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 ZSL London Zoo where she worked on 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, decide 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 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 presented on the programme at the ABWAK Symposium and the BIAZA Annual Conference and the organisation is honoured to be BIAZA Endorsed and supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, seeking a creative outlet, Alice launched the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that examines animal behaviour in a humorous 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 hopes to continue interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
