welcome


I'm Christine, a quantitative ecologist interested in statistical methods to improve population assessment, researching how populations respond to environmental variability and change, and developing and improving software tools. Currently, I develop and improve usability of statistical fisheries stock assessment models and tools as an employee of NOAA Fisheries' Office of Science and Technology. I completed my PhD at the University of Washington in the Quantitative Ecology and Resource Management (QERM) program in 2017. I worked with Dr. Tim Essington in the School of Aquatic and Fishery Sciences to develop statistical models to estimate growth change in marine fish from messy data and run simulation analyses to how this variation affects population productivity and fisheries management. I'd be happy to talk to you about my research; email is the best way to contact me.
