Amelia R.

Jimmy was an amazing part of the team. He would always contribute his ideas and analysis during brainstorm sessions and then write amazing articles. He is one of the most versatile writers I worked with, being able to come up with an amazing art review or a hard news story with no problem whatsoever. I enjoyed working with him.
