  Hi Elliee,
  
  It wasn’t really a choice I had to make. There had been a terrible earthquake in Japan which caused the accident at the Nuclear Power Station at Fukushima Dai-ichi. The British Embassy wanted someone to go out to help.
  
  Because I had worked in Japan before and spoke some Japanese, and was also a Scientist who understood about nuclear things, I was chosen to come out here.
  
  When I first came to Japan about 15 years ago, I never thought I would be back working in this job, I just thought it sounded interesting at the time. If you get the opportunity to do something different, I would think about it seriously as you never know where you will end up!
