Brought into the world in 1990 to a UK mother 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 fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University. From then on, Alice was hooked on 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, zookeeper 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, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and assist in Sloth research.

When she returned to England, zookeeper 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 established the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a not-for-profit organisation that enables 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 supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.

In 2023, searching for 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 initial months of her podcast, she was accompanied by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, zookeeper Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, zookeeper 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.
