a Maltese father, Alice was raised for the majority
of her life in Surrey's Woking.
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 aspiration was to be a performer and write comedy,
zookeeper but another dream was fulfilled when she started volunteering at a
Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University.
From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and worked to take that path instead.
Alice started her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she was involved with 3 different animal departments.
In 2015, she left the Zoo life to run 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 study Toucans and assist in Sloth research.
When she came back 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 established the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme
(or KEEP), a non-profit organisation that allows 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 proud to be BIAZA Endorsed and supported by Birdworld,
zookeeper in Surrey.
In 2023, searching for 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 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.
