.As a Human Resource Business Companion at NASA Base, Selina Salgado describes her work as aiding with "all factors individuals" for the company. By promoting technological options to personnels (HR) obstacles and also demands, she succeeds at an often-underestimated facet of Digital Makeover (DT): the social side. As a champion of community structure, knowledge sharing, and also digital upskilling, Selina was a simple selection for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also earlier operated as a mentoring coordinator for Marshall Area Tour Center (MSFC), which is where her Digital Transformation adventure started. At MSFC, she produced an all-in-one, automated device for available job postings, which lessened the agency's time to employ and enhanced visibility for accessible openings. She has goals for further leveraging these kinds of devices to boost inclusive teaming across NASA through bring in HR devices available and interoperable throughout centers. Her current crew under the Office of the Main Human Being Financing Officer (OCHCO) functions along with an 80-20 mindset, operating to generate usual devices and options that are actually 80% interoperable and twenty% customizable to the details association or even case..Aside from her technical work on digital HR tools like the automated task panel, Selina volunteers to assist individuals understand what change implies to all of them and how to perform change in their daily lives. In partnership along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina generated the brand-new Improvement Tips (TxTips) collection, which includes NASA employees' tech-related recommendations for doing their work. The quick appeal of the community-led series caused audio speaker requests for TxTip presentations from numerous various other workplaces at NASA, featuring the Workplace of Stalk Involvement..Most lately, Selina has come to be a crucial contributor as well as companion in NASA's Summertime of AI upskilling project to aid staff members take full advantage of the advantages of AI while handling risks. As a self-taught creator, Selina has actually created several resources and applications to improve agency-wide partnership as well as records compilation. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, and also Power BI, included with SharePoint, to supply records to a dash utilized due to the Company Main artificial intelligence Officer to inform the Manager on effect metrics from the Summertime of artificial intelligence initiative. Selina also cultivated and also performed a number of activities to interact and also delight the workforce around this initiative, including becoming pregnant the agency's very first "Fight of the Bots" celebration. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Everything" event assisted workers know the differences in sizable language designs by pitting ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted prompts and also questions.
