Alice joined the Newmarket team in September 2018. After graduating from University College Dublin with a BSc Zoology (Hons), Alice worked abroad as a herpetologist, researching a plethora of wild reptile and amphibian species in Madagascar, Honduras and Mexico. However, in 2014 she changed career paths and went into the TV & film industry. Although it was fun and exciting to work on TV shows, commercials and feature films, she knew there was something missing.

Alice always loved animals from an early age and realised her true passion was working with wildlife and science, with a keen interest in exotic animals. Alice is very excited to work towards her veterinary nursing qualification and starting this new journey at Newmarket Vets4Pets.
