Whitford was born in Melbourne and raised in Mount Eliza, Victoria on the Mornington Peninsula. She was an athlete at Box Hill Athletics Club and Mornington Little Athletic Centre. She played netball for the Peninsula Waves Netball Club in the Victorian Netball League and represented Victoria three years in a row.
