MACC Ambassador

Sydney BranstetterHello everyone!

My name is Sydney Branstetter (’23 accounting, business analytics). I spend a lot of my time studying for CPA exams and doing schoolwork but in my free time, I like to stay active. During my time in my undergraduate program, I was involved in many activities and leadership positions. I also helped tutor in the Accounting Help Lab, which was a rewarding experience. I have had two internships and will begin my career as an audit associate at Ernst and Young after graduation. I am currently in my last semester in the MACC program. My favorite experience in the MACC program was when I got the opportunity to study abroad in London for two weeks in the summer. Our group learned about international business while immersed in a different culture and seeing famous historical sights. I have enjoyed my time at Iowa State, especially because of all the supportive and friendly staff and students at the Ivy College of Business!
