Senin hakkında

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 during her youth led her to participate in acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and Italia Conti, and writing the school plays as she got older.

Alice's aspiration was to write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was realised 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 pursue that career instead.

Alice started 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 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 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 founded the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a non-profit organisation that allows Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn 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, searching for 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 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 talking to hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.

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