About seller
Brought into the world in 1990 to a British mother and a Maltese father, Alice grew up for zookeeper most of her life in Woking, Surrey. Her passion for zookeeper comedy growing up saw her to participate in acting classes at the Guildford School of Acting and zookeeper Italia Conti, and authoring the school plays as she got older.
Alice's dream was to be a performer and write comedy, zookeeper but another dream was fulfilled 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 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, decide to return to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and assist in 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 non-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and zookeeper beyond to gain knowledge from each other through spending time at 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, 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 first few months of her podcast, she was accompanied by nature creatives such as Chris Packham, zookeeper Megan McCubbin, Lucy Lapwing, Jungle Jordan, Bertie Gregory and aims to continue interviewing hilarious experts about animals with a bad reputation.
Alice was also shortlisted for BIAZA's "Woman of the Year" award in 2023.
