Lesly Gamez

Lesly Gamez

I recently served as the Assistant Director of Educational Services for South St. Paul Public Schools. I’m excited to be back in Saint Paul Public Schools and to continue supporting students, educators, and families.

From 2019 to 2021, I served as a Learning Lead at Hazel Park Preparatory Academy. Before that, I worked as a Peer Assistance and Review (PAR) Coach within the Office of Teaching and Learning from 2017 to 2019. I also spent nine fulfilling years as a classroom teacher at Adams Spanish Immersion and Paul and Sheila Wellstone Elementary.

My academic journey includes an Ed.S. in School Administration from Concordia University, Master’s degrees from both the University of St. Thomas and Hamline University, and a Bachelor’s degree from St. Olaf College. I’m currently pursuing a Doctorate in Culture and Teaching, with a continued focus on culturally responsive leadership.

I am passionate about creating inclusive, student-centered learning environments and supporting educators in their growth and development.
