Her passion for comedy growing up 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 dream was to be a performer and write comedy, but another dream was realised when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
in 2011, while going to University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and worked
to take that path instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey in 2014
at London Zoo
ZSL where she was involved with 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, chose to go back to exotic animals,
relocating
to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she came back to England, she
returned to Zookeeping, and took on the role of 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 allows Zookeepers from across the UK and zookeeper beyond to learn from each other through visiting other
collections. She has spoken about the programme at the
ABWAK Symposium and zookeeper 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 created the animal-comedy podcast:
"Asshole Animals with Alice", that examines animal
behaviour in a humorous fashion, with the help of experts across the world.
In the first few 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 zookeeper BIAZA's "Woman of the Year"
award in 2023.
