Brought into the world in 1990 to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for most of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her love of 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 aspiration was to be a performer and write comedy, but another dream 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 strived to pursue that career instead.

Alice began her career in Zookeeping in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo where she worked on 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 return to exotic animals, moving to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and assist in 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 stayed for nearly 5 years.

During this time, she established the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a non-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn from each other through visiting 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, in Surrey.

In 2023, seeking a creative outlet, Alice launched the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that explores 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 talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.

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