Manuela Caldas

Manuela Caldas was PERC’s summer 2025 marketing and communications intern and a digital storyteller driven by a passion for conservation and meaningful communication. She earned a B.S. in Digital Communications and Media alongside a B.A. in Sustainability and the Environment from Florida International University, where she also minored in German. Combining her expertise in media production with a strong foundation in environmental advocacy, Manuela approaches her work through a thoughtful, interdisciplinary lens. She focuses on crafting engaging digital content that explores the connections between people, places, and the natural world.

Spending every summer on her family’s farm in Colombia, Manuela developed an early and profound appreciation for the relationship between people and the land. This deep-rooted connection continues to inspire her dedication to PERC’s mission of nurturing sustainable bonds between communities and nature.

When she is not creating, you can find her hiking through the backcountry in search of wildflowers, frequenting farmers’ markets, and looking for the perfect mountain view.
