Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her love of comedy growing up saw 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 dream was to write comedy and be a performer, but another dream 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 take that path instead.
Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she worked on 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she departed from the Zoo life to run a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, chose to go back to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she came back to England, she returned 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 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 explores animal behaviour in a humorous fashion, with the help of experts across the world. In the initial months of her podcast, she was joined by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and hopes to continue talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
