Samuel Whitfort

Sunshine Coast,QLD

Summary

I am a 17 year old student attending SCGS, who grew up and lived in Victoria for 13 years before moving to Queensland and living on the Sunshine Coast for the past 4 years. I've played sports my entire life and am currently participating in basketball in the Queensland State Youth League representing USC Ripcity, while also playing volleyball in the local schools competition. I'm passionate about building relations, teamwork, leadership, learning and I really enjoy maths, analytics and talking to/meeting people, which i want to incorporate into a career in sales and business management. During the 3.5 year period I've been working, I have had 4 jobs, primarily in hospitality, but shortly in retail, these have all been great learning experiences for my future and have helped me gain valuable skills that I will use in every job I have in my life.
