Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for most of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for comedy during her youth led her to participate in acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's aspiration was to be a performer and write comedy, but another ambition was fulfilled 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 take that path instead.
Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL 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, decide to go back 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 became 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 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 zookeeper supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, zookeeper searching for a creative outlet, Alice launched the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", zookeeper 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 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.
