Kiera is a dedicated biometrician with extensive experience in fisheries research, specializing in rockfish growth studies, marine invertebrate diversity, and quantifying migrating salmonids using sonar technology. Her recent work in the Columbia River and the Sandy River Basin involved extensive field data collection for local salmonid populations through creel efforts and spawning ground surveys. The surveys consisted of live salmonid counts, carcass counts plus sampling, and with redd surveys using GPS technology. She also possesses experience with commercial and tribal fisheries sampling, mark-recapture studies, PIT tagging, and sturgeon population studies. With a recent master’s degree in Statistics, Kiera is transitioning her focus to fisheries population dynamics and modeling. She brings experience with mark-recapture studies, stock assessments, multivariate analyses, Bayesian inferences, Markov chain Monte Carlo analysis, and spatial data modeling. Proficient in R and SQL, with knowledge of conducting machine learning models using python, Kiera excels in data analysis and modeling. Additionally, she is skilled in experimental design, data collection, and data management, which are essential for conducting robust statistical analyses on any given project.
