Born in 1990 to a British mother and zookeeper a Maltese father, Alice grew up for the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her love of comedy during her youth saw her to attend 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 ambition was fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, zookeeper while going to University. From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and worked to take that path instead.

Alice began her Zookeeping journey 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, zookeeper decide to return to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to study Toucans and assist in Sloth research.

When she returned to England, she returned to Zookeeping, zookeeper and took on the role of a Carnivore Keeper at Shepreth Wildlife Park, where she remained for nearly 5 years.

During this time, she founded the Keeper Educational Exchange Programme (or KEEP), a not-for-profit organisation that allows Zookeepers from across the UK and zookeeper 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 sponsored 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 comedic 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, zookeeper Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and aims to continue interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.

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