I am a Kenyan-American dual citizen. In the course of establishing my identity as a citizen by birth of each country I learned a great deal about the difficulties and complexities that can arise when trying to establish your identity, locate family documents, file the right forms, locate the appropriate office, prove your citizenship, and receive your new government issued identity documents.
Fortunately, I am a third generation career civil servant. I come from a family that has served several governments in two hemispheres for almost a century. Which explains why nothing pleases me more than a smoothly operating bureaucracy.
I was raised on three continents and to always think globally. I have a B.A. degree in International Relations and Political Science and an M.A. in International and Religious History. I am an analyst with significant experience in records and information management, business process analysis and development, and comparative international politics.
My passion is the acquisition and dissemination of information. I have always had a particular interest in international affairs. The analyst in me assesses the benefits of holding citizenship of one or more different countries while the bureaucrat in me examines and compares citizenship, documentation, and identity processes around the world, purely out of personal interest.
My goal is to aid individuals and their families in leveraging their current and future identities into new, better opportunities by thinking and looking globally. Because your identity is never just about you.
