In addition, I was able to spend one semester at Universitá Foro Italico (Rome, Italy) within an Erasmus program during my BSc studies, and two months at University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland) during my MSc studies. After that, I was selected by Spanish Government for a full time teaching and researching contract while finishing my doctoral studies in Physical Education at University of Murcia (Murcia, Spain). Before joining the PESS Department at the University of Limerick in 2023, I have been working at UCAM University for four years, University of Murcia for one year, and International University of La Rioja for one year. Also, thanks to different grants I obtained, I have been able to do four research stays at University of Tsukuba in Japan (2017), at University of Strathclyde in Scotland (2017 and 2022), and at Universidad Austral de Chile in Chile (2023).  Currently, I am teaching on competitive team and individual game-based activities (PY4091), Adventure and water based activities (PY4143) and Sociological concepts of teaching and learning in Physical Education (PY4055), and also supervising School Placements and Final Year Projects on the BSc in PE.
