of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for comedy growing
up saw her to attend acting classes at Italia Conti and zoo the Guildford School of Acting, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's
aspiration was to write comedy and be a performer, but another
dream was fulfilled when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while going
to University.
From then on, Alice was captivated by animal care and worked to
take that path instead.
Alice started 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 manage a Children's
Farm in North London but after a few years, chose to return to exotic
animals, moving to Costa Rica for Zoo 7 months to research Toucans and zoo help
with 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 remained for zoo 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 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, searching for 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 initial months of her podcast, she was joined by nature creatives such as Chris
Packham, Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and
hopes to continue interviewing hilarious experts about
animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also nominated for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
