My name is Mariela, and I am an occupational therapist from Puerto Rico. I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Biology at the University of Puerto Rico and then an Associate’s degree in Occupational Therapy at the Interamerican University of Puerto Rico.
In 2023, I graduated with an Occupational Therapy Doctorate (OTD) at Gannon University, Ruskin, Florida. My clinical experience includes blending pediatrics and adults with physical, neurological, and intellectual disabilities in outpatient and inpatient facilities. I enjoy being creative and making my patients learn and enjoy each step of the rehabilitation process.
My priority is to offer an individualized plan of care meaningful to my patients so they can maximize their potential to engage actively and safely in their daily activities
