Maricelis Santiago-Cruz, COTA

Certified Occupational Therapy Assistant

Meet Mari, a vibrant professional with a heart as warm as her Puerto Rican roots. Raised on the island, she's fluent in both English and Spanish. Summers were spent soaking up the sun at the beach or lounging by the pool, while Christmas meant cozying up in the mountains to celebrate 3 Kings Day.

Mari obtained an associate and bachelor’s degree in Occupational Therapy and immersed herself in all things OT. Mari has experience working with mental health, geriatrics, and pediatrics. Mari’s extensive experience and versatile approach to OT allow her to serve a wide range of clients for over 20 years!

Mari relocated to Idaho in 2014 and enjoys spending time with her husband and two children. While she may miss the beaches of her native Puerto Rico, Mari's infectious positivity and genuine warmth make her a cherished presence wherever she goes. Known for her uplifting demeanor and innate ability to connect with others, Mari is truly a joy to be around and a favorite among all who have the pleasure of knowing her.
