I worked for about 15 years as a researcher, also teaching at the university level along with my main job. For the past 5 years now I have worked as the Head of Training in a non-governmental organisation related to safe boating, being responsible for both online and contact teaching in adult education. As a side-job, I work in my own company that specializes in gamified team development, done mostly online.
