Leroy Walker
Summary
I am a high school student, a highly experienced Basketball referee looking for summer work in the retail sector. My officiating career has helped me develop a strong set of communication skills as well as a mind for problem solving. An eager student who consistently meets deadlines, and is always available for anything and everything. Over 120+ hours worth of community and volunteering work with local events, (Ironman, Cycle Challenge, Offroad Challenge etc) has taught me dependability, responsibility, and trust. Right now, I am looking to kick start my working career and am always looking forward to whatever happens next.
