the world in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for zookeeper most of her life in Surrey's Woking.
Her passion for comedy during her youth 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 dream was to write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was realised 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 worked to
pursue that career instead.
Alice began her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she
worked on 3 different animal departments.
In 2015, she departed from the Zoo life
to run a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, decide to go back to exotic animals, moving
to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she came back to England,
zookeeper she returned 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
non-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers
from across the UK and beyond to gain knowledge from each other through visiting 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, seeking a creative outlet, Alice created
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 joined by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, zookeeper Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and hopes to continue talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
