About

Brought into the world in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for most of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her love of comedy growing up led her to attend acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and writing 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 going to University. From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and strived to pursue that career 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 left the Zoo life to manage a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, chose to go back to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for zoo 7 months to research Toucans and help with Sloth research.

When she returned 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, zoo 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 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 sponsored by Birdworld, in Surrey.

In 2023, searching for a creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", zoo 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 nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
