Manuela Bushamani is a rising fourth year student at the University of Virginia who is a double major in Art History and Drama. She attended the Washington Journalism and Media Conference in the summer of 2019 as a rising junior in high school. As she was figuring out what she wanted to do with her passion for writing, she had an amazing learning experience that introduced her to the world of journalism. As a JFA in the summer of 2022, she loved the experience of working with students, so she is excited to return to help this year’s correspondents  discover a passion and new learning experience that she experienced as a correspondent.
