and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for most of her life in Surrey's Woking.
Her love of comedy growing up led her to attend acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's aspiration was to be a performer and write comedy,
but another ambition
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 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, she departed from the Zoo life to manage a Children's Farm in North London but
after a few years, chose to return to exotic animals, relocating
to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and help with 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), zoo a non-profit organisation that allows Zookeepers from across
the UK and beyond to learn from each other through visiting 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, seeking a creative
outlet, Alice launched the animal-comedy podcast:
"Asshole Animals with Alice", that examines animal behaviour in a comedic 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.
