Charlton Resident Named 10 Under 10 Honoree
Nichols College recognizes Amber Tariq
Dudley, MA (08/17/2021) — Amber Tariq, a Charlton, Mass., resident and Senior Accountant with UMass Memorial Health is named a 10 Under 10 honoree by Nichols College. This year the 10 Under 10 Award was created to recognize GOLD graduates (Graduates Of the Last Decade) for outstanding accomplishments in leadership, service, career and character. Our first class of leaders includes a police officer, entrepreneur, business owner, national security analyst, and a VIP executive with the Boston Celtics. Awardees were honored in a virtual ceremony on July 29, 2021.
Tariq was a standout student during her time at Nichols College, an honors student, member of the Accounting Club, and teaching assistant. She also worked in the accounts payable department and held two internships. Her hard work and good nature have served well, rising to a senior accounting role at the region's premier medical center.
Tariq commented, "I started out in public accounting after graduating; last year I transitioned to the healthcare industry. One of my professional goals has always been to work in an industry where I can see the positive impact that our organization has on our society, and I feel that is exactly where I have landed at UMass, especially given the circumstances of this last year. I wouldn't be here I am today if it wasn't for Nichols."
