.As a Human Resource Business Companion at NASA Headquarters, Selina Salgado describes her work as aiding with "all factors individuals" for the company. By assisting in technical remedies to personnels (HUMAN RESOURCES) problems and also needs, she excels at an often-underestimated component of Digital Transformation (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champ of community structure, knowledge sharing, as well as digital upskilling, Selina was actually a very easy collection for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and previously functioned as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Area Tour Center (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Transformation trip began. At MSFC, she developed an all-in-one, automated body for available project posts, which decreased the organization's time to tap the services of as well as improved presence for readily available openings.

Her present team under the Office of the Main Human Being Resources Police Officer (OCHCO) runs along with an 80-20 mentality, functioning to produce common tools and remedies that are actually 80% interoperable and twenty% personalized to the certain association or circumstance..Along with her technical work with digital human resources tools like the automated task board, Selina volunteers to assist folks recognize what change implies to all of them and also just how to perform makeover in their lives. In cooperation along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina generated the brand new Change Tips (TxTips) series, which includes NASA workers' tech-related suggestions for doing their job. The quick recognition of the community-led series resulted in audio speaker requests for TxTip presentations from a number of other offices at NASA, consisting of the Office of STEM Engagement..Very most recently, Selina has ended up being an essential contributor as well as partner in NASA's Summer of AI upskilling project to assist employees make the most of the advantages of AI while handling risks. As a self-taught developer, Selina has actually generated a number of devices and apps to simplify agency-wide partnership as well as information selection. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, as well as Electrical power BI, incorporated with SharePoint, to feed data to a control panel made use of by the Firm Main AI Police officer to inform the Manager on influence metrics coming from the Summer season of AI initiative. Selina likewise built as well as executed numerous events to involve as well as excite the staff around this initiative, consisting of developing the firm's initial "Fight of the Bots" celebration. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Just about anything" event aided employees comprehend the variations in huge language designs by matching ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted motivates and inquiries.
