MACC Ambassador

Ali TallaqHello everyone!

My name is Ali Tallaq. I started the MACC program at the Ivy College of Business in August 2023. I am proud to hold a graduate assistant position in the department, furthering my passion for accounting. Graduating fourth in my class with a bachelor’s degree in accounting reflects my commitment to academics. Thanks to the Erasmus+ program, I had the incredible opportunity to explore over nine European countries, fostering a love for diverse cultures. I bring with me over three years of valuable experience as an accountant in the non-profit sector. My experience has equipped me to address unique financial challenges and make a positive impact on society. As I work towards becoming a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), I am driven by a commitment to excellence in the field. In my free time, I enjoy the serene and green surroundings of Ames, taking leisurely walks and finding inspiration in the city’s calm ambiance.
