Cady Armstrong, Co-Editor in Chief

Hey there! I'm Cady Armstrong and I'm so excited to serve as one of the Editors-in-Chief this year :). In my previous years on staff I've served as a News section editor, Beats editor, and News reporter. Outside of HiLite, you can spot me hanging out with my friends and family, going on sunset walks, blasting music from 2010, or passionately rooting for my favorite people within the reality TV fandoms. Check out some of my work down below!
