I saw nothing in her resume and experience that any fan of the WCC should be excited about.
Let's put it another way: why would anyone want to hire someone from the Pac 12?
I don't follow Larry Stone of the Seattle Times, but this article is worth a read:
On the heels of the worst bowl showing ever for a major conference — a 1-8 record — the Pac-12 has just turned in the worst NCAA basketball performance for any Power Six league in the modern era with an...
If this is the main qualification on her resume,
Nevarez had been the senior associate commissioner at the Pac-12 since 2010. She oversaw all sport championships except for football and she was also the PAC-12 liaison for basketball.

On a positive (?) note she comes from the Pac 12 --(maybe be able to ink a WCC vs Pac yearly challenge--since a good number of the schools already play each other --it should be pretty easy to get done) -- but it sounds like she was in a position that was to be downsized/eliminated-- so how long does she stick around before she finds the next step in her career?

That's another problem with college sports today, too much bureaucracy, spending way too much money on administrators.

I wonder who the other candidates were, and whether or not this was the second, third, or fourth choice. Does anyone know the other candidates?

Unrelated to this hire, Gonzaga's own Shannon Strahl is a career Compliance Officer, and I would guess she'd make a fine conference commissioner if she ever decided to do something like that. She was my favorite person in the athletic department during my time at GU.
