Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey.
Her love of comedy growing up led her to participate in 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 be a performer and zookeeper write comedy, but another
dream was realised when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while going to
University.
From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care
and worked to pursue that career instead.
Alice started her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she worked
on 3 different animal departments. In 2015, zookeeper
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 research Toucans and zookeeper assist in Sloth research.
When she returned 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 spending
time at other collections. She has spoken about the programme at the ABWAK Symposium and the
BIAZA Annual Conference and the organisation is proud to be BIAZA Endorsed and sponsored 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.
