father, Alice was raised for most of her life in Woking,
Surrey. Her love of comedy during her youth saw her to attend acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting
and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream
was to be a performer and write comedy, but another ambition was realised when she started volunteering at
a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University.
From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and worked to pursue that career instead.
Alice began her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she worked on 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, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and 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 enables Zookeepers from
across the UK and beyond to gain knowledge 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 honoured to be BIAZA Endorsed and sponsored by Birdworld,
in Surrey.
