Mikaela Fahey, PSP

My ASIS certification as a PSP directly resulted in my hiring by the world’s largest retailer. I am able to promote my certification among others with whom I work in the Global Security community and it has given me validity in the field. Often times when others see my PSP certification, which I include on my signature block, I get asked about it and I love recommending ASIS to my colleagues.
