About Akshra Saxena

I’m a Sophomore at Fordham University’s Gabelli School of Business with a 3.9 GPA, pursuing a B.S. in Global Business with a Global Marketing with Consumer Insights Concentration. I was born in Bhopal, India, where I completed my high school degree before moving to New York. I am an ANA Certified Marketing professional, seeking internship opportunities in Marketing and Public Relations in New York City. As a Marketing Scholars Candidate, I am one of 40 students in a program aimed at providing unique, high-profile opportunities to advance marketing careers through visits to leading advertising agencies and exposure to other industry-leading professionals. My on-campus involvement has given me opportunities to lead initiatives that enhance student engagement and professional opportunities. Notably, I lead campus tours for prospective students, serve as a Resident Assistant for 36 students, was appointed by the Dean’s administration umbrella to serve on a fifteen-student Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Board, and am the President of the Student Affairs Committee for United Student Government. I’ve had two internships that have helped me apply my classroom skills in the real world. Currently, I am a Public Relations and Brand Marketing Intern at Rei Cosmetics, where I combine my passion for beauty and branding by producing digital content that aligns with the brand’s identity. I have also managed the social media strategy for IVA Voice Studio, a vocal and acting coaching consultant, where I planned the digital footprint on Facebook, Instagram, Patreon, and YouTube, leveraged Canva, Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, Premiere Pro, and Final Cut Pro to create content. Before coming to Fordham, I launched and managed the first of its kind Girls for Business chapter in India with 28 sub-chapters throughout India. This 501(c)3 non-profit organization empowers middle and high school girls interested in pursuing future careers in the business field. I worked with leadership in the US and managed a board of 17 Indian peers to develop a financial literacy curriculum that was rolled out to 250+ girls in India. I hope to seek opportunities that allow me to use my creativity and leadership to create a meaningful impact. You may contact me at A•••••••@fordham.edu
