Bio
Becca Boya Xu, Ph.D.
Ruslana was a student in one of the discussion sections of Journalism 175 (Media Literacy) course that I taught as a teaching assistant in Fall 2013. I found her work, maturity, and intellectual breadth to be far above what one would expect from an average university student. She was one of the students who actively brought up excellent points in our weekly writing assignments, and her work always reflected a high level of critical thinking that often times helped propelled the overall discussion to broader, more abstract issues. She was not afraid to let her opinion heard or challenged, and she often offered different points of views. She is smart, and she needs little instructions. She was also a good team player who performed well in group projects. Overall, Ruslana is an effective and eloquent speaker, a solid writer, and a deep thinker. She appeared to be extremely focused, and was definitely one of those students who make the professor’s job easier. I have no doubt she will succeed in any future endeavors she embarks on.

Ruslana is a consummate professional, gives 100% in whatever project she works and is willing to go the extra mile to bring a project to close. In her role as a photographer with Rose Knight she has Directed and Produced several project showing she has the skills to manage like projects. Ruslana brings her own special prospective to every project that invariably improves the look and quality of the project. She would make an invaluable asset to any company. K. C.
