Online Faculty Mentors
The Online Faculty Mentor at each college is your primary faculty contact for SDCCD Online Learning Pathways. They are a wonderful support to work one-on-one with faculty to enhance online instruction, provide online education updates, and represent faculty in various campus committees such as DDESC, SDICCA-DE, CVC/OEI, CCC DECO, and local college committees.

Aileen Gum - City College
Welcome to City College! My name is Aileen Gum (she/her/hers). I have a B.A. in English, M.A in French Linguistics, & an M.A. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I believe language should be a "bridge," not a "barrier." I know it's not easy to learn a new language or to master academic English, so I hope our classes can be safe spaces where you can take risks to learn how to communicate better in English and to connect with others. When I'm not working, I like to get out in nature... even if it's in the middle of the city! I hope you can take time to explore some of the beautiful places in San Diego such as Tuna Harbor Park, just a few minutes from City College.

Kim Latcher - Mesa College
👋 Hi! I have been teaching in the English Department here at Mesa for 11 years (online for 6). I believe that with equitable and inclusive online instruction, we have the opportunity to give all students access to spaces where they can be engaged, challenged, and successful. I'm passionate about humanizing my online courses and removing barriers that keep students from thriving. I love learning from my colleagues about the best ways to do this, and I am thrilled to be a part of MOST so that I can share this knowledge with you.

She also loves the community of the online classroom, including student-to-student connections. Stefanie currently serves as Miramar's Online Faculty Mentor and Assistant Chair of the Languages and Ethnic Studies Department.
