Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her passion for comedy during her youth led her to participate in acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's aspiration was to write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, zookeeper while attending University. From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and strived to pursue that career instead.
Alice began 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, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and zookeeper help with 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 stayed 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 zookeeper the organisation is proud to be BIAZA Endorsed and zookeeper supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, searching for zookeeper a creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", zookeeper that examines 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 aims 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.
