Tiffany Tate took her upbringing as a military brat and used it as a lifelong research project. By traveling to different parts of the country, she was able to view various economic standards and practices within city governments that drew her interest into the world of business. In 2012, after completing her undergraduate degree in Economics and receiving a minor in World Studies, Tiffany decided
to pursue an Executive Masters of Business Administration. She completed the degree in 2014 with a 4.0 GPA as the youngest graduate to ever enter the program. She then went on to be an Economist Intern for the Macon-Bibb Workforce Investment Board, which then merged with the Middle Georgia Regional Commission. After completing her internship in Macon, she began working at the Atlanta Regional Commission as a Labor Market Information Systems Specialist. Upon completion of her graduate studies and research in industry operation and economics in Rome, Italy and Dubai, UAE, Tiffany returned and felt that Macon had a missing link within its economic development. In 2014 Tiffany started Tate.Alpha Total Economics, LLC with the desire to help those that are developing a small business gain a greater understanding of the their business and the fiscal and economic atmosphere of the market itself. She began working with people interested in creating their own small businesses in Middle Georgia ranging from community clubs and organizations, beauty salons, product development, child care centers, magazines, musical artists and art collaborations in Macon. Along with running Tate.Alpha, Tiffany also has gained experience from working as a former Microeconomics Professor at Mercer University and Wesleyan College and the Director of Academics of Graduate Programs in the Stetson School of Business and Economics at Mercer University. She served as the first Instructor within the Greater Macon Chamber of Commerce’s Young Entrepreneurs Academy. She is a graduate of Leadership Macon, and is an official Macon Ambassador. She is a member of Career Womens Network, Women United, the Downtown Macon Rotary Club (2015 Rookie of the Year), and the Urbane Young Professionals Network.
