Amelia Leighton Gamel Biography

Amelia Leighton Gamel, M.Ed. is a highly sought-after and renowned speaker whose charisma and personality have captivated audiences across the nation. She is a learning and development program management professional. Gamel had an awareness and commitment to education, diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging (DEIB) long before it was trending.

As the granddaughter of Italian immigrants to the United States, she was keenly aware of the challenges her grandparents, and other immigrants, encountered as “outsiders.”

Amelia’s view, awareness and understanding expanded through various life and professional experiences which prompted her to be intensely aware of disparities of resources and lack of belonging in education, healthcare and corporate environments.

She has comprehensive experience in the field of education having served as a tenured college professor, an inner-city public-school teacher, a nationally recognized innovator of student success initiatives and a published academic author.

She is the recipient of the J. Ward Preston Outstanding Faculty Award, the author of several academic books and publications and is a recurring guest on Education Talk Radio.

Gamel has devoted her career to promoting student success and assisting educators to become centered and happy professionals who effectively engage with, and advance, students.

As the founder of Equitable EDU LLC, a leading training and development company, Gamel’s ever-growing influence impacts professionals in a wide variety of ways including thought-provoking training and one-on-one coaching.

Gamel’s success is a result of her passion for education, compassionate methods, interpersonal abilities, insights into the human experience, and thorough understanding of the history and experiences of underrepresented groups.
