Meet Kim Kubilus


Director of Family Services

My name is Kim Kubilus and I am available to help you in any way I can. I lost two brothers to a lysosomal disease related to Tay-Sachs. If I can help ease the heartache of another, then maybe my family’s loss was not in vain.

Please feel free to contact me anytime with any question or just to talk. I may not know the answer but I’ll do my best to find it. My email is Kim@ntsad.org or 800.906.8723.
