We’re excited to welcome Mallory Rosenfeld to Totem as our newest Associate!

Mallory joins Totem from the nonprofit sector and is excited to continue contributing to mission-driven work. She brings a background in technology implementation and data-driven project management.

With a B.S. in Marine Biology from the College of Charleston Honors College, Mallory’s path to consulting has given her a unique combination of analytical problem-solving, research, and project coordination skills.

When asked what excites her most about joining Totem, Mallory shared, “I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with different teams and organizations, learn how they operate, and help turn challenges into solutions that make their work easier and more effective!”

Outside of work, Mallory is always looking for an excuse to try a new restaurant or recipe. She is also working toward her very ambitious goal of keeping a non-Lego plant alive for more than six months, so the team can feel free to hold her accountable.

Welcome to the team, Mallory!

We’re excited to welcome Corey Best to Totem as our newest Consultant!

Corey brings a diverse background spanning intelligence analysis, international program management, stakeholder engagement, and operational problem solving. Throughout his career, he has supported complex, mission-driven organizations by helping teams navigate risk, manage high-profile initiatives, and deliver meaningful outcomes.

A graduate of American University School of International Service, Corey combines strong analytical skills with a collaborative leadership style and a passion for continuous learning. His experience spans global operations, business development, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration—making him a great addition to our consulting team.

Outside of work, Corey is originally from Cleveland, Ohio, has called the DMV home for the past six years, and despite living in Washington, DC for three years, has somehow never been to Le Diplomate. We’ll let the team decide whether that’s a badge of honor, or something we need to fix.

Please join us in welcoming Corey to the Totem team!

Spike is a crested gecko with a talent for dramatic staring contests and late-night bug patrol. He prefers warm naps, strategic climbing routes, and quietly judging everyone from elevated surfaces. In his spare time, he enjoys operational oversight, cricket hunting, and pretending he cannot hear you when it’s time to go back into his enclosure.

“I think it goes like this (memory and interference), ” Artist, Nicholas Galanin (Lingít and Unangax̂, born 1979), Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.

This monumental bronze sculpture is cast from the pieces remaining after Nicholas Galanin split imitation totems into firewood-sized sections resembling logs. He then had the bronze logs welded together to construct a disorganized figure: a reflection of colonization’s decimation of Indigenous culture.
The work acknowledges Indigenous people’s efforts to rebuild with the materials and memories that remain and the difficulty of this task due to generations of interference by settlers. A collection of material translations, this sculpture is made from bronze - a material long associated in the West with monuments and permanence. Galanin uses those associations here to insist on the self-determination and self-representation of Indigenous peoples.
