.As a Human Resource Company Companion at NASA Head Office, Selina Salgado defines her job as helping with "all points folks" for the venture. Through assisting in technological options to human resources (HUMAN RESOURCES) challenges as well as needs, she succeeds at an often-underestimated facet of Digital Transformation (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champ of area property, expertise sharing, and digital upskilling, Selina was an effortless collection for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina began at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also earlier functioned as a mentoring planner for Marshall Area Air Travel Center (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Makeover quest started. At MSFC, she generated an all-in-one, automated body for available work postings, which reduced the agency's time to choose as well as increased visibility for readily available positions. She has aspirations for additional leveraging these kinds of devices to boost broad teaming around NASA through bring in HR devices on call and also interoperable around facilities. Her present team under the Office of the Principal Person Financing Officer (OCHCO) runs with an 80-20 mentality, functioning to generate usual resources as well as services that are actually 80% interoperable as well as twenty% adjustable to the particular organization or even circumstance..Besides her technical work on digital HR devices like the automated job panel, Selina takes initiative to assist folks comprehend what makeover suggests to all of them and exactly how to perform improvement in their lives. In cooperation along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina made the brand new Change Tips (TxTips) collection, which features NASA staff members' tech-related recommendations for doing their work. The instant appeal of the community-led series led to audio speaker ask for TxTip discussions coming from numerous other offices at NASA, featuring the Workplace of Stalk Engagement..Very most just recently, Selina has ended up being an essential contributor and partner in NASA's Summer of AI upskilling campaign to help workers optimize the perks of AI while taking care of threats. As a self-taught developer, Selina has developed several devices and apps to enhance agency-wide partnership and also information compilation. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, and Energy BI, combined along with SharePoint, to feed information to a control panel used by the Company Principal artificial intelligence Policeman to orient the Supervisor on influence metrics coming from the Summer season of artificial intelligence initiative. Selina also cultivated as well as executed numerous occasions to engage and thrill the staff around this campaign, consisting of developing the firm's initial "Fight of the Bots" occasion. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Everything" celebration aided workers know the distinctions in sizable foreign language versions by pitting ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted causes as well as concerns. The Battle of the Bots viewed the best engagement of any sort of asynchronous Summertime of AI celebration.Selina's academic background straightens along with her focus on the combinative and collaborative elements of Digital Transformation. She received her undergraduate's level in company monitoring along with a concentration in human resource monitoring and also her professional's level in learning and pupil undertakings, which led to her interest in NASA's internship and also mentorship courses.
