Brought into the world in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for the majority of her life in Surrey's Woking. Her passion for comedy growing up saw her to attend acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.

Alice's dream was to be a performer and write comedy, but another ambition was realised 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 began 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 help with Sloth research.

When she returned to England, she returned 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 not-for-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn from each other through spending time at 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 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 aims 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.
