The Leadership Team

Ethos was founded by Carmen McElfresh and MaLesa Reese, two experienced, knowledgeable, compassionate, and skilled professionals dedicated to the well-being of children with speech-language and learning disorders and their families and schools.

MaLesa and Carmen sought a dynamic, respected school psychologist to join them in leading the company and found the ideal person, Nate Kindig, a bright, engaging educational professional who shares the Ethos values, vision, and commitment to excellence.

MaLesa has almost four decades of experience treating and caring for children with speech-language and learning challenges. She is a respected leader in both speech pathology and education, having trained, mentored, and inspired hundreds of young speech pathologists.
