About

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 zoo comedy during her youth led her to attend acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and zoo authoring 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 began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while going to University. From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and worked 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 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 help with Sloth research.

When she came back 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 not-for-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to gain knowledge from each other through spending time at other collections. She has spoken about 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 created 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 initial months of her podcast, she was joined 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 nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
