About Sam Tummins

I’m a Finance and Supply major at the University of Tennessee with strengths in leadership, communication, and problem-solving, developed through both work and campus experience. At Dick’s House of Sport, I train new associates, resolve customer concerns, and am trusted to handle responsibilities such as counting money and ensuring accuracy after close. I also bring operational experience from my role as a Harbormaster Assistant, where I worked directly with tenants, operated equipment, and maintained safety standards. On campus, I serve as the Head Recruitment Chairman for Sigma Chi, leading recruitment strategy, organizing outreach, and building relationships that shape the future of our chapter.Looking ahead, I am actively pursuing internships for both Spring 2026 and Summer 2026 to gain hands-on experience in the financial industry. My long-term goal is to become a financial advisor, where I can apply my strengths in communication and relationship-building to help clients make confident financial decisions. I’m focused on expanding my finance knowledge, strengthening my professional network, and taking on opportunities that prepare me to succeed in wealth management and advisory work.
