Your personal background.
Brought into the world in 1990
to a UK mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew
up for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey.

Her passion for comedy growing up led her to participate in acting classes at Italia Conti and the Guildford School of Acting, and writing the school plays as she
got older.

Alice's dream was
to write comedy and be a performer, 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 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, zookeeper 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 returned 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 founded 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 honoured to be BIAZA Endorsed and supported by Birdworld, in Surrey.


In 2023, seeking a
creative outlet, Alice created 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 shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
