Haley Karinja
Hi! My name is Haley Karinja. I am a student at Fordham University in Lincoln Center studying Digital Technology and Emerging Media and Marketing at the Gabelli School of Business. I am currently pursuing a career in digital marketing and content creation and have had many internships in social media marketing in sports, entertainment, retail, and more. Here is more about my life outside of work and what makes me, me!
I am a junior at Fordham University in Lincoln Center studying Digital Technology and Emerging Media and Marketing. I love learning and am always looking for opportunities to be challenged and grow.
Academics
At Fordham, I have had the opportunity to take diverse classes to explore different interests of mine. I have taken many interdisciplinary classes like Introduction to Digital Technology and Emerging Media, Digital Cultures, Public Relations, Business of New Media, Digital Research Methods, Branding, Consumer Behavior, Integrated Marketing Communications, and more where I have had the opportunity to learn about the intersections of business and new media.

I am currently a University Ambassador at Soulcycle.
I am passionate about fitness and body positivity. My favorite thing about social media is that it gives users the opportunity to share an important message with their audiences. I hope to create content that inspires my audience to feel comfortable in their own skin and enjoy working out in a fun and healthy way.
I have planned group rides with Fordham's Undergraduate Women in Business Club at Soulcycle. Watch this video I created to see more!
Another thing about me is that I love to go for a coffee trip. Whether that is a walk to my favorite local New York coffee shop and through Central Park, or through the drive through at a coffee shop in New Jersey, I will be getting an iced chai latte with an extra shot of espresso.
I love animals. I have a two year old golden doodle named Annie. I also love to pet dogs walking on the street in New York City (with owner permission).
Annie is a good sport when it comes to content creation! Last summer, while I was working at Ultraviolet, a digital marketing agency, I created this video of Annie for the brand's Instagram Reels. Between Annie's cuteness and my social media strategizing, filming, and editing skills, this video reached over 7.2k views on the brands page.
