After six months of in-class and on-the-job training, Ellie served 23 years as a tour guide at Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant. Participants in her tours included members of the general public, service organizations, students from the U.S. and other countries, schools, churches, women’s & men’s groups – even PG&E employees from other areas in the company.
By communicating with literally thousands of tour participants over the years, Ellie gained a unique understanding of public perception – and misperception – of nuclear energy. She serves a vital role as CGNP’s Community Liaison, focusing outreach on where it can be most effective.
