majority of her life in Woking, Surrey.
Her passion for comedy growing up led her
to participate in acting classes at Italia Conti
and the Guildford School of Acting, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to write comedy and be a performer, 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 captivated by
animal care and strived to pursue that career instead.
Alice started her
Zookeeping journey in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she was involved with 3 different animal departments.
In 2015, she left the Zoo life to run 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 assist in 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 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 zookeeper 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 comedic fashion, with the help of experts across the world.
In the first few months of her podcast, she was joined by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and zookeeper hopes to continue interviewing hilarious
experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also nominated for zookeeper BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
