"The Jimmy Awards is unlike anything else in the world. I’ve never worked and performed for so many powerful and inspiring people in my life. Truly the entire week and the night of the Jimmys were the most amazing and unforgettable things I have ever experienced. Becoming a finalist changed my life and quickly got me in touch with the most amazing people in the industry. I will forever be thankful for the entire experience."
