Born in Brasília, Brazil, Manuela now calls Ottawa home and has played an integral role in successfully guiding our Canadian and U.S.-based clients through complex regulatory and legislative landscapes since 2021.
Manuela specializes in issues affecting consumer product manufacturing. She consistently leverages her knowledge of federal, provincial, and municipal mandates for corporate sustainability and consumer product standards to help ensure that our client’s products and businesses remain in compliance with Canada’s everchanging environmental and social policies.
Highly experienced in securing government funding, Manuela has also helped drive several successful applications for our clients in the academic, non-profit, and skilled trades sectors. Her international experience and robust research background have made her an invaluable asset. Her adaptability, curiosity, and analytical skills consistently contribute to the success of our clients and the Bluesky team.
Manuela holds a bachelor’s degree in Global and International Studies, with a specialization in Global Politics from Carleton University, where she graduated with high distinction and ranked in the top three percent of students in the Faculty of Public Affairs. Outside of work, Manuela loves to split her free time between Ottawa and Montreal, spending her weekends golfing or trying out the best new downtown spots for food and fun with her friends.
