Alice was raised for most of her life in Surrey's Woking.
Her love of 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 ambition was fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011,
while going to University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and zookeeper worked to
take that path instead.
Alice started her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she was involved with
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, relocating
to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and help with Sloth research.
When she returned to England,
zookeeper she returned 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 allows Zookeepers from across
the UK and beyond to learn 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 proud
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 comedic fashion,
zookeeper
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.
Alice was also nominated
for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
