Background

About Mia Downes

An operations wrangler, trained therapist, and disability advocate who enjoys working through nitty-gritty details and complexities, I especially love unclogging cumbersome processes that have high-stakes human impacts. I appreciate flowing between left- and right-brained work, as creative experimentation and granular data analysis both make my mind hum. I am a lifelong visual artist who grew up in a family of mathematicians, so I suppose it makes sense! I am wired to cultivate relationships, optimize workflows, and curate intentional programs and services. I have led technology implementations, managed multidisciplinary projects, grown partnership networks, and streamlined oodles of processes. I instinctively notice gaps, pain points, and opportunities for action. If there’s a problem, let’s dig in and fix it. CliftonStrengths: Responsibility | Empathy | Discipline | Harmony | Individualization
