Alex and Jared met in 2017 in New York City as coworkers at Discovery. She was a social media producer for Animal Planet and Science Channel and he was a social media producer for Discovery just a few desks away. They don’t exactly remember the first day they met, but soon long chats over Slack evolved into long coffee and lunch breaks together to eventually hanging out outside of work. They started dating in the summer of 2018 and in June 2022 Jared proposed to Alex over campfire s’mores at a cabin in the Poconos. Alex and Jared currently live in Astoria, Queens with their black cat Jiji, another Discovery alum! He was adopted from the Animal Planet Puppy Bowl. We can’t wait for our special day and we hope you can join us in Beacon!
