Senin hakkında

Born in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for most of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for comedy growing up led her to participate in 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 write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while attending University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and worked to take that path instead.

Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at London Zoo ZSL where she worked on 3 different animal departments. In 2015, she left the Zoo life to manage a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, chose to return to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and help with Sloth research.

When she came back to England, she made her way back to Zookeeping, and took on the role of 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 not-for-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to gain knowledge from each other through visiting other collections. She has presented on 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, with the help of experts across the world. In the first few months of her podcast, she was joined by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and hopes to continue talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.

Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
