Hi there! I’m Mallory Topel.
I'm passionate about building thoughtful systems that support people -- behind the scenes and behind the (computer) screen!
With a B.F.A. in Theater and nearly a decade of professional theater experience, I’ve spent much of my life calling cues, anticipating needs, and coordinating backstage magic.
Long before the pandemic pushed everything online, I found my way into the world of remote communications support - and unexpectedly, discovered a new kind of stage. Now, in addition to rehearsal halls, I now also support small business owners, creative professionals, and nonprofit leaders who are doing meaningful work...
...and need thoughtful systems to sustain it.
Whether backstage, in my current role as an Administrative Assistant at MMSD, or in my freelance communications work, I bring a balance of structure and flexibility, helping you find clarity, amplify your outreach, and lighten your mental load so you can focus on what matters most.
Another thing about me: I believe in servant leadership and community impact. That’s what drew me to study Theatre at Viterbo University, a Catholic Franciscan institution that centers values like contemplation, hospitality, and servant leadership.
