I'm now a volunteer civic activist after having been a civil/environmental engineer in government at various levels and staff at associations of policy makers. I have experience with Latin America and am interested in strengthening connections with people involved in improving governance there. As someone with Finnish ancestry, I empathize with people struggling for freedom and enduring independence in former colonies in the eastern part of Europe and want to make ties there.
