.As a Personnel Company Companion at NASA Central Office, Selina Salgado describes her job as assisting with "all points individuals" for the company. By promoting technological solutions to human resources (HUMAN RESOURCES) challenges and also requirements, she succeeds at an often-underestimated aspect of Digital Change (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champ of community building, expertise sharing, and also digital upskilling, Selina was a quick and easy assortment for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways intern and also earlier functioned as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Area Flight Center (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Makeover quest began. At MSFC, she generated an all-in-one, automated system for accessible task posts, which decreased the company's opportunity to employ and raised visibility for on call roles. She possesses aspirations for more leveraging these types of devices to boost broad teaming all over NASA through creating human resources tools accessible and interoperable around facilities.

In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina produced the new Change Tips (TxTips) collection, which includes NASA workers' tech-related pointers for doing their job. The instant recognition of the community-led set triggered sound speaker ask for TxTip presentations from a number of various other offices at NASA, featuring the Workplace of STEM Interaction..Most recently, Selina has ended up being a vital contributor and also companion in NASA's Summertime of AI upskilling initiative to aid workers take full advantage of the perks of AI while dealing with risks. As a self-taught creator, Selina has actually created numerous resources and apps to streamline agency-wide cooperation as well as data collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and Electrical power BI, integrated along with SharePoint, to supply records to a dash used due to the Organization Chief AI Officer to brief the Supervisor on influence metrics coming from the Summer season of AI campaign. Selina likewise established and also carried out a number of occasions to involve as well as delight the workforce around this project, consisting of conceiving the organization's 1st "Struggle of the Bots" occasion. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Just about anything" activity aided staff members recognize the variations in huge language models through pitting ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted urges and also concerns. The Battle of the Bots observed the highest possible engagement of any sort of asynchronous Summer months of AI activity.Selina's educational background aligns with her pay attention to the connective and joint elements of Digital Transformation. She obtained her bachelor's degree in service administration along with an emphasis in personnel management and also her expert's level in education and learning as well as trainee affairs, which caused her interest in NASA's teaching fellowship as well as mentorship courses.

"You do not need to reside in IT, you do not need to have that history or even technological [ability]," she mentions. "I suggest, I remain in HR. Any sort of area at NASA may use the digital yard and electronic makeover. Those principles as well as resources are actually readily available for everybody.".
