Background

About Mia Daucourt

I’m a researcher passionate about understanding people in context—how cognitive, behavioral, and environmental factors intersect to shape decision-making, outcomes, and experiences—and using those insights to drive more effective, equitable, and evidence-based solutions. With a Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology and over eight years of experience, I specialize in uncovering the needs of diverse populations through rigorous, user-centered research. I’m now excited to bring this expertise to consulting, where I can help organizations make smarter, more human-centered decisions grounded in data. Whole-Person Insights: I integrate behavioral, cognitive, and systemic data to uncover patterns and pain points—whether in learning, healthcare, or service delivery—and translate those findings into actionable strategies. Research That Drives Change: From public education and national surveys to neuroimaging and behavioral assessments, I’ve led projects that clarified complex problems, guided product and program design, and informed policy decisions. Advanced Methods, Applied Impact: Proficient in R, SAS, Mplus, and mixed-methods research, I work across large-scale and high-dimensional datasets to generate insights that are both statistically rigorous and practically relevant. Equity-Focused, User-Centered: My research centers underserved populations and aims to close opportunity gaps—ensuring that solutions are not only efficient, but accessible and inclusive. Collaborative & Strategic: I thrive in interdisciplinary teams and fast-paced environments, partnering with technical experts, stakeholders, and end-users to align insights with strategic goals. I’m driven by the belief that data, when interpreted with care and clarity, can inform smarter systems and better experiences. I’m eager to bring my skills in analysis, communication, and research strategy to consulting teams focused on solving complex problems with thoughtfulness, precision, and impact. Let’s connect if you're looking for someone who can turn messy data into meaningful strategy—and always keeps people at the center of the solution.
