Alice was raised for the <a href="https://biaza.org.uk/our-partners">majority</a>; of her life in Surrey's
Woking. Her love of comedy during her youth led her to
attend acting classes at the <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/get-involved">Guildford</a>;
School of Acting and Italia Conti, and authoring
the <a href="https://biaza.org.uk/our-partners">school plays</a> as she got older.
<a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/jobs-listing">Alice's dream</a> was to write comedy and be a performer,
<a href="https://wiki.whenparked.com/User:DeanaQueale079">zookeeper</a>; but another dream was <a href="https://www.rhinokeeperassociation.org/professional-development">fulfilled</a>; 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 worked to pursue
that career instead.
Alice started her Zookeeping journey in 2014 at
London <a href="https://www.instagram.com/keeperexchangeprogramme/">Zoo</a>;
ZSL where she worked on 3 different animal departments.
In 2015, she <a href="https://biaza.org.uk/our-partners">departed</a>; from the <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/other-opportunities">Zoo</a>; life to manage a Children's Farm in North London but after a few years, chose to return to exotic animals, <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/about-us-2">relocating</a>; to Costa Rica for 7 months to research Toucans and assist in Sloth research.

Wildlife Park, where she remained for nearly 5 years.

not-for-profit organisation that enables Zookeepers from across the UK and beyond to learn from each other through <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/jobs-listing">visiting</a>; other <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/employer-listing">collections</a>;.
She has spoken about the programme at the ABWAK Symposium and <a href="https://combineoverwiki.net/wiki/User:MarcosArispe8">zookeeper</a>; the
BIAZA Annual Conference and the <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/getting-started">organisation</a>; is proud
to be BIAZA Endorsed and <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/get-involved">supported</a>; by Birdworld, in Surrey.

<a href="https://wiki.janastu.org/index.php/User:VMJRogelio">zookeeper</a>; 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 <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/jobs-listing">experts</a>; 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, <a href="https://www.sitiosperuanos.com/author/lavada92a8/">zookeeper</a>;
Bertie Gregory and aims to <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/jobs-listing">continue talking</a> to hilarious experts about <a href="https://www.keeperexchange.org/get-involved">animals</a>; with a bad reputation.
