Poco natural
"Epitomize" is okay.
"I epitomize a nice guy/girl." is okay.
It is not common in conversation.
More natural:
"I am the epitome of a nice guy/girl."

@tiriamisu okay I just wanted to be funny and sarcastic so I think I can use that word 😂

The word / phrase that follows "epitomize" has to be a general category. Since "the nicest person in the world" is a single person, not a category, it is a little unnatural.
