Nicole Melcher’s Eph Blurb

Off to Japan tomorrow for a week and will update afterward. Short story is I am Deputy Director for the Office of Japan at the U.S. Department of Commerce and work on U.S.-Japan trade issues. I have been in the Office of Japan since 1995. I just moved to Mount Pleasant about a block from the National Zoo and am awakened periodically by the gibbons (a kind of monkey).
