zookeeper Alice grew up for the majority of her life in Woking,
Surrey. Her passion for comedy during her youth saw her to attend 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,
zookeeper but another ambition was realised 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
began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she worked on 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, 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 stayed for nearly 5 years.
During this time, she founded the Keeper Educational
Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a not-for-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and zookeeper beyond to learn from each other through spending time at
other collections. She has presented on 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 explores animal behaviour in a humorous 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, 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.
