TSA names Kimberly Herrea Officer of the Year www.privateofficer.com

Arlington VA Nov 19 2009 Kimberly Herrera, a transportation security officer at Albany International Airport, has been named the agency’s Employee of the Year for 2009. She accepted her award at the TSA’s Eighth Annual Honorary Awards Ceremony in Arlington, Va., this morning.

Herrera, who has been with the TSA for seven years, in 2008 launched an initiative that provided outdated TSA uniforms and jackets to homeless veterans in the Capital Region. She then assisted 30 other airports nationwide in starting similar programs.

“Kim’s work ethic, positive attitude and professionalism are exemplary,” said Brian Johansson, TSA’s federal security director at the Albany airport. “This award is very well deserved and TSA Albany is incredibly proud that one of our own officers is being recognized by TSA Headquarters for her contribution to this agency and Albany International Airport.”

Before joining TSA, Herrera served eight years in the U.S. Army and was deployed to Saudi Arabia, Bosnia and Afghanistan. She also earned a degree in business management from the University of Maryland (European division).
