I was born in Bhutan. I’m from Lhothsampa
(Southerner) ethnical group. My great-great grandparents migrated
from Nepal to Bhutan and they became Citizens of Bhutan. We speak
Nepali.
In 2014, I became a US Citizen and that moment was one of the
GREATEST moments of my life. As soon as I became a US Citizen I
bought a big US Flag and hung in front of my house and a flag in my
car.
I became an officer in Akron Police Department in 2018 and I was the
first officer from refugee background.Every single day young boys
and girls from different ethnical background such as from Bhutanese
Nepali, Burmese, Karen, Congolese, and Afghans ask me how to become
an officer.
My one brother is Mechanical Engineer. The other brother is in
military. Two sisters work in Hospital. I’m living the American
Dream big time and I’m proud to be an American!
Note: He is sharing his Naturalization experience in a video on
Thursday, September 17th during Welcoming Week 2020. Stay Stuned!
