Bio
Victoria Nava-Watson, M.A.
Ksenia and I have worked together for close to 3 years as colleagues and teammates within the Career Services Department at Westwood College Online. Ksenia is an invaluable asset to not only the department, but to the institution as a whole. She has a strong ability to create and sustain professional relationships which builds a mutual pipeline for success between employers and graduates. She is extremely supportive of her students and their endeavors and is able to develop valuable ways for them to explore and execute their long term goals. Ksenia offers a wide range of skills from advising, networking, and presenting to collaborating, creating, and editing. She is the type of individual and professional that goes above and beyond, all while maintaining a positive and selfless attitude. She has been a pleasure to work with and learn from. I highly recommend Ksenia Appel-Whitney and the quality of work that she produces. She would quickly become an instrumental addition to any company or organization that she chooses to work with.
