.As a Human Resource Company Partner at NASA Main Office, Selina Salgado defines her task as assisting with "all things individuals" for the company. Through promoting technological services to personnels (HUMAN RESOURCES) problems and needs, she excels at an often-underestimated part of Digital Transformation (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champion of community building, knowledge sharing, as well as digital upskilling, Selina was a very easy option for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also previously functioned as a mentoring planner for Marshall Room Trip Facility (MSFC), which is where her Digital Change journey began. At MSFC, she created an all-in-one, automated unit for accessible task posts, which decreased the organization's opportunity to tap the services of and also raised presence for available positions. She possesses ambitions for more leveraging these forms of devices to improve broad teaming around NASA through bring in human resources devices available and interoperable throughout facilities. Her existing staff under the Workplace of the Main Human Being Funding Officer (OCHCO) works along with an 80-20 mentality, working to generate typical resources and also solutions that are 80% interoperable as well as twenty% adjustable to the details organization or case..Besides her technical service electronic human resources resources like the automated work panel, Selina takes initiative to aid individuals know what improvement suggests to them and just how to perform transformation in their every day lives. In partnership along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina made the brand new Transformation Tips (TxTips) series, which features NASA staff members' tech-related pointers for performing their work. The instant level of popularity of the community-led set resulted in audio speaker requests for TxTip discussions from several other offices at NASA, including the Workplace of Stalk Interaction..Very most recently, Selina has become a crucial factor as well as partner in NASA's Summer season of AI upskilling initiative to assist staff members maximize the advantages of AI while managing risks. As a self-taught developer, Selina has actually created a number of devices and also apps to improve agency-wide partnership and also information collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and Energy BI, combined along with SharePoint, to supply records to a dash panel utilized by the Organization Chief AI Policeman to orient the Administrator on influence metrics from the Summertime of artificial intelligence initiative. Selina additionally built and carried out several activities to interact as well as thrill the labor force around this project, including becoming pregnant the agency's very first "Struggle of the Bots" celebration. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Anything" occasion aided workers know the distinctions in big foreign language styles through countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to reply to participant-submitted triggers and questions. The War of the Bots saw the highest involvement of any type of asynchronous Summer season of artificial intelligence occasion.Selina's instructional background aligns along with her focus on the combinative and collaborative components of Digital Change. She acquired her bachelor's level in business monitoring with a concentration in human resource administration and also her master's level in education and learning and trainee events, which resulted in her interest in NASA's teaching fellowship and also mentorship programs.
