More about Maren
Growing up, Maren was inspired by her mother, who provided occupational therapy services to medically fragile children in the Duluth area. This early exposure sparked her interest in the field and motivated her to explore various areas of OT to find her niche. Family played a significant role in her decision to work in the Cloquet area, as she wanted to stay close to home. She enjoys the rural healthcare environment at CMH, where the community feel enhances the services CMH provides. Outside of work, family is her greatest joy. She has an amazing daughter, and cherishes spending time with her and her husband, exploring the beautiful trails of the Northwoods and enjoying activities like kayaking and paddle boarding.
