Darshini Shankar, Sports Editor

Hi! I’m Darshini Shankar and I’m looking forward to being a Sports Editor this year for my second year on Hilite. Last year, I was a News Reporter. On this page, you can see the work I’ve done while on staff. Outside of Hilite, I enjoy running cross country and track, spending time with my friends and family, baking, and watching TV.
