father, Alice grew up for most of her life in Surrey's Woking.
Her passion for comedy during her <a href="https://wildenrichment.podbean.com/e/ep-40-collaborating-for-better-human-and-animal-wellbeing-with-alice-vassalo/">youth led</a>
her to attend acting <a href="https://www.alicevassallo.co.uk/keep">classes</a>; at the <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/posts/alice-vassallo-457275345_a-fantastic-opportunity-for-those-wanting-activity-7284280270365589504-fqtD">Guildford</a>; School of Acting and Italia Conti, and

another dream was fulfilled when she began volunteering at a Wildlife
Rehabilitation Centre in 2011, while <a href="https://wildenrichment.podbean.com/e/ep-40-collaborating-for-better-human-and-animal-wellbeing-with-alice-vassalo/">attending University</a>.
From then on, Alice was hooked on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/keeperexchangeprogramme/">animal care</a> and <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/">strived</a>; to take that
path instead.
Alice started her career in <a href="https://www.alicevassallo.co.uk/about">Zookeeping</a>; in 2014 at London <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/">Zoo</a>; ZSL where she worked on 3 different animal departments.
In 2015, she left the <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/">Zoo</a>; life to manage a Children's Farm in North London but after a
few years, <a href="https://mediawiki1334.00web.net/index.php/User:AshleighCardell">zookeeper</a>; decide to
return to exotic animals, relocating to Costa Rica for 7 months to
study Toucans and help with Sloth research.

a Carnivore Keeper at Shepreth Wildlife Park, where she remained for nearly 5 years.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/keeperexchangeprogramme/">Zookeepers</a>; from across the UK and
<a href="http://wiki.myamens.com/index.php/User:SheritaWoz">zookeeper</a>;

behaviour in a humorous fashion, with the help
of experts across the world. In the first few months of her podcast, she was <a href="https://castbox.fm/episode/Ep.-40--Collaborating-for-Better-Human-and-Animal-Wellbeing-with-Alice-Vassalo-id2679202-id584871351?country=us">accompanied</a>; by nature creatives such as
