Meet our Top-Notch Trojan, Amoreena Aspenwall-Fredin!
I've been with Bovard College and USC Online since 2018. As a Senior Instructional Technologist, my main role is to create online courses in our Learning Management System from documents prepared by the Instructional Design team. I also lead and support our digital accessibility efforts. I've designed tools, templates, and workflows that increase efficiency while reducing errors. Collaborating with team members and other groups to solve problems is the most enjoyable part of my work. The question always on my mind is, "How can we make this better?"
If I could give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be this: Even if you think you can't do it, try it anyway. You'll surprise yourself, because you are more capable than you think!

She actively builds bridges across units and creates space for conversation, listens carefully, and helps colleagues navigate differences with professionalism and care.
