Driven by a passion for education's transformative power, Dr Damaris Carlisle brings over three decades of experience, enriched by diverse cultures and pedagogical approaches, to her role as Lecturer-in-Charge of The Learning Centre at LASALLE College of the Arts in Singapore.

Her commitment to inclusivity stems from a deep belief in every individual's right to flourish. Informed by her doctoral research on the experience of learners with disabilities in their tertiary journeys, Dr. Carlisle champions personalised approaches that cater to each student's unique needs and aspirations.

Technology plays a vital role in her vision. Text-to-speech software, note-taking apps and other assistive tools become bridges to empower students to fully engage in their artistic pursuits. Eager to foster a culture of inclusivity throughout LASALLE, Dr Carlisle collaborates with faculty, staff, and students to raise awareness, challenge preconceptions, and build a vibrant community where every voice is heard and valued.
