.As a Human Resource Company Companion at NASA Main Office, Selina Salgado describes her task as aiding with "all factors individuals" for the organization. By facilitating technological options to human resources (HR) problems and also needs, she excels at an often-underestimated part of Digital Improvement (DT): the social side. As a champ of area building, expertise sharing, and digital upskilling, Selina was actually an easy assortment for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina began at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways intern and previously functioned as a mentoring coordinator for Marshall Space Flight Facility (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Makeover quest started. At MSFC, she developed an all-in-one, automated system for accessible work postings, which lowered the company's time to hire as well as increased exposure for on call openings.

In partnership along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina created the brand new Improvement Tips (TxTips) collection, which includes NASA workers' tech-related ideas for performing their job. The instant popularity of the community-led collection brought about sound speaker requests for TxTip presentations from numerous various other workplaces at NASA, featuring the Office of Stalk Involvement..Most lately, Selina has come to be a vital factor as well as companion in NASA's Summertime of AI upskilling initiative to aid staff members make best use of the perks of AI while taking care of threats. As a self-taught creator, Selina has generated a number of resources and applications to enhance agency-wide partnership and also records collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, and also Energy BI, incorporated along with SharePoint, to supply data to a control panel made use of by the Company Chief AI Officer to orient the Manager on influence metrics coming from the Summer months of AI initiative. Selina likewise created and performed a number of celebrations to interact as well as thrill the workforce around this initiative, including conceiving the organization's very first "Struggle of the Bots" celebration. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Anything" occasion helped workers understand the variations in big foreign language designs by pitting ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to respond to participant-submitted cues and also questions.
