Is this sentence grammatically correct? The dashes are em dashes. This is the last sentence of a paragraph that is in the past tense:
But I continued to work—building, learning, and simply loving what I did—and nothing has been more rewarding.
And if not, can someone explain why and provide the correct way to structure it?

We consider -ing verbs to be “non-finite” verb forms. That means that they are not inflected for person or number or tense.
To carry tense, you need a finite verb form, like your continued which is the past tense of continue, and like your has which is the present tense (and third person singular) of have.
Those other verbs like loving, though, they have no tense. Use them at will with either tense.
