My name is Rowena Hennigan,
I'm a remote work skills lecturer with
TU Dublin in Ireland, and
I'm completely remotely based, so
I deliver virtually on various e-learning
modules, and online classes, and
I have been based fully remotely for
the last three years in Spain.
I work on various different projects and
I've often never met my co-workers,
which is something a lot of
remote workers are used to.
I co-founded a 'Future of
Work Skills' module at TU Dublin,
which has a heavy emphasis on remote work.
I've also been a series editor
with Henry Stewart Talks before,
on the Online Learning for
Business Education series.
I'm a remote consultant as well,
focusing on remote work skills, and
personally I've been a remote
worker on and off since 2007.
