Aileen Gum
Online Mentor for City College
Hello everyone! 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 teach English and ESOL at City College on-campus and online. What I enjoy most about being an Online Faculty Mentor is collaborating with faculty to find interesting and new ways to leverage technology to make learning engaging and accessible for students. Regardless of class modality, there is a smorgasbord of tools and options that we can use to remove barriers to learning and help connect students with each other and their instructors. Front seats for all 😊!

Denise Maduli-Williams
Online Faculty Mentor for Miramar College.
Hi all! I am a Professor of English and ELAC at Miramar College and have been a long-time passionate advocate for online education. My interest in accessibility and online accessibility specifically has grown over the past five years. In Fall of 2023, I completed a sabbatical focused on graduate-level coursework in accessibility, disabilities, and UDL. In 2023-2023, I was a Stanford EPIC Community College Fellow, where my culminating project was an Online Toolkit for Creating Accessible Learning Environments with Universal Design for Learning and Online Accessibility Practices I am not an expert, but I am curious and determined to ensure equity, inclusion, and accessibility and to share what I learn with all of you.

Tucker Grimshaw
Online Accessibility Mentor
I am excited to serve the San Diego City College faculty, staff, and students as an Online Accessibility Mentor. A bit about me: I was born and raised in San Diego and have lived in various places, including Hawaii and Idaho. My academic interests include Universal Design for Learning, disability studies, queer studies, equitable assessment practices, and first-year writing (to name a few).
Online accessibility is essential because I have noticed that voices are missing in academia. One way we can amplify silenced voices is by endeavoring to make our courses accessible to all.
