Born 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 saw her to attend acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to be a performer and write comedy, but another ambition was fulfilled when she started 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 career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo 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 return to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and assist in Sloth research.
When she returned to England, she made her way back to Zookeeping, and became a Carnivore Keeper at Shepreth Wildlife Park, where she remained for nearly 5 years.
During this time, she founded the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a non-profit organisation that allows Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn 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 launched 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 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 hopes to continue interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
