Brought into the world in 1990 to a UK 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 the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's aspiration was to write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was fulfilled when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and strived to take that path instead.
Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo 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, relocating 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 non-profit organisation that allows Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn 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 sponsored by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, searching for a creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that explores animal behaviour in a humorous fashion, with the help of experts across the world. In the initial 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 talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
