The Exponent

About mraynes

Profile: I currently work as a domestic violence counselor, a job that I find challenging but incredibly fulfilling. When not at work, I'm playing with my young son and spending time with my husband, preparing for the birth of a daughter, pining to go to graduate school and trying not to drop the many balls I'm attempting to juggle.
