✨"I don't know how I know, but I'm gonna find my purpose" ✨ The Jimmy Awards was nothing short of the single most life changing experience of my life. I am first and foremost grateful for everyone in my life, my teachers, mentors, and supporters who have made it so that I could experience such magic this past week. Thank you. I am also incredibly grateful for the impeccable staff that I got to learn from, thank you for bestowing your wisdom onto me and believing me to be worthy of the Rising Star Award. I will not make you regret that. I could drone on all day about the magic of theatre, the feeling of making my broadway debut, or the incredible lessons I learned as a performer. However, the only things I can bring myself to speak about are the life-long friendships I have forged at this event. To my Jimmy family, I love you, and I look forward to seeing you all thrive exactly where you wish to thrive. The 109 nominees I was lucky enough to breathe the same air as are the lifeblood of what will be a better future for all. I love you dearly, thank you. I am grateful to say that I found my purpose at the Jimmy Awards, and I found it in the people that I now love so fiercely.
