zookeeper Alice
grew up for zookeeper the majority of her life in Woking, Surrey.
Her love of 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 aspiration was
to write comedy and be a performer, but another ambition was fulfilled when she started volunteering at a Wildlife Rehabilitation Centre
in 2011, while going to University. From then on, Alice was hooked on animal care and zookeeper strived to take that path instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at ZSL London Zoo 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 go back to exotic animals, moving to
Costa Rica for 7 months to study 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 established the Keeper Educational Exchange
Programme (or KEEP), a non-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from
across the UK and beyond to gain knowledge 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.

creative outlet, Alice created the animal-comedy podcast: "Asshole Animals with Alice", that examines animal behaviour in a humorous fashion, zookeeper 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, zookeeper Bertie Gregory and aims to continue interviewing hilarious experts
