to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice was raised for most of
her life in Woking, Surrey. Her love of comedy
during her youth led 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 aspiration 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 attending University. From then on, zookeeper 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 worked
on 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she departed from the
Zoo life to manage
a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, zookeeper
decide to go back to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica
for 7 months to research Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she returned to England, she returned 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 not-for-profit organisation that enables
Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to gain knowledge 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 proud to be BIAZA Endorsed and sponsored by Birdworld, in Surrey.
In 2023, searching for zookeeper a creative
outlet, Alice launched the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice",
that examines 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,
Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and hopes
to continue interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
