Ella Nielsen is the Programs Director at the American Solar Energy Society. Solar Energy sparked her interest when she interned at a local solar energy nonprofit in Tanzania when she was in college. During her internship, she completed a report on the impact of rural electrification and its effects on women in East Africa. After studying abroad, she did a summer internship at the US Department of Energy under their Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Office, focussing on rural energy in the United States. In her free time, she enjoys climbing, skiing, and hiking around the Rocky Mountains. Ella is really excited to understand the solar energy industry more and learn about the inner workings of a nonprofit organization.
