Kimberly Nussbaum

Kimberly Nussbaum

Founder, President & Treasurer

Kimberly has witnessed many changes in children’s media in the past 20 years.  “It is a true honor to be a part of the team making Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood accessible through American Sign Language (ASL).”

She studied ASL as her four-year language requirement at the University of Arizona and interpreting at Pima Community College.  An opportunity to work with deaf children at the Arizona School for the Deaf (ASDB) changed her course of study to Deaf Education.  She went on to earn her Master’s Degree at the University of Pittsburgh.

After a brief career teaching in the classroom, she landed her dream job as full-time Mom to three sons!  Dr. Paul and Kimberly have shared life together for over 40 years!  With Paul’s expertise in Neuropsychology they often collaborate on the benefits of ASL on Brain Health.  Together they enjoy life through the eyes of their four grandchildren.
