Brought into the world in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for most of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her love of comedy growing up saw 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 dream 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 worked to take that path instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo 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, decide to return to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and assist in 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 remained 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 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, 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 shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
