Ms. Haussler is excited to be with The Gorilla Foundation, where she can combine her love of animals with her financial and human resource management skills.
Her impressive work ethic and passion for details are exactly what the Gorilla Foundation needs to maximize its efficiency and effectiveness as a lean non-profit organization with extremely challenging and vital goals to accomplish.
