  I report on energy and the environment for StateImpact Pennsylvania at WITF.
  
  My work focuses on responses and solutions to climate change in the state legislature and communities around the state. I trace my interest in these issues back to my time as a Girl Scout and this episode of Rocko’s Modern Life.
  
  I look forward to winter just for the chance to ski a few times each season. I try to keep myself from doom-scrolling on my phone by keeping my hands busy knitting and learning to play the piano.
  
  I grew up in Cambria County, Pa. and graduated from Temple University. I started at WITF just after Christmas in 2014.

The Little League World Series started in 1947 with just 8 area teams. This year, 20 teams from around the world are in South Williamsport for the 76th edition of the series, which started Aug. 16 and will conclude Aug. 27 with the championship game.

Baseball fans from all over Pennsylvania are also in town to catch the action, and get into some fun of their own off the field.
