Just Hired! Claire Henniges
Meet Claire Henniges, a double major graduate of Western Illinois University's Computer Science and Mathematics programs, who was hired as a Business Analyst with FieldView, a division of Bayer Crop Science.
"My studies in Computer Science and Mathematics at WIU gave me the technical depth and analytical foundation needed for this role. Courses like Database Systems help me understand SQL and database design at a deeper level, while my mathematics coursework, mathematical modeling and statistics gave me confidence in interpreting and analyzing datasets beyond basic visualization. WIU's Computer Science and Mathematics programs gave me both practical technical skills and analytical confidence that I bring into the workforce."
