.As a Personnel Business Companion at NASA Headquarters, Selina Salgado describes her job as assisting with "all points people" for the business. By assisting in technological solutions to personnels (HUMAN RESOURCES) obstacles and necessities, she succeeds at an often-underestimated facet of Digital Change (DT): the social edge. As a champion of area building, expertise sharing, and also electronic upskilling, Selina was actually a simple option for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways intern and previously worked as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Space Air Travel Center (MSFC), which is where her Digital Improvement trip started. At MSFC, she created an all-in-one, automated unit for accessible project posts, which reduced the agency's opportunity to tap the services of and also increased exposure for available openings. She possesses goals for additional leveraging these kinds of devices to strengthen broad teaming around NASA by making HR resources available as well as interoperable around centers. Her present staff under the Workplace of the Principal Human Being Funds Policeman (OCHCO) works along with an 80-20 way of thinking, working to develop common resources and also options that are actually 80% interoperable as well as 20% personalized to the certain association or even scenario..Besides her technical work on digital HR devices like the automated project board, Selina volunteers to assist people understand what change means to all of them as well as exactly how to engage in transformation in their day-to-days live. In partnership along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina produced the new Improvement Tips (TxTips) set, which features NASA employees' tech-related ideas for doing their job. The quick appeal of the community-led collection resulted in audio speaker ask for TxTip discussions from numerous various other workplaces at NASA, including the Office of STEM Interaction..Most just recently, Selina has become a crucial contributor as well as partner in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling initiative to assist employees take full advantage of the advantages of AI while handling threats. As a self-taught creator, Selina has produced several resources as well as apps to simplify agency-wide partnership as well as records selection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and Electrical power BI, combined with SharePoint, to supply data to a dash made use of by the Company Principal artificial intelligence Police officer to inform the Administrator on effect metrics from the Summer of AI campaign. Selina likewise created and also implemented many activities to involve and delight the labor force around this initiative, featuring developing the company's very first "Struggle of the Bots" activity. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Everything" celebration assisted staff members comprehend the distinctions in big language styles through countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted prompts and concerns. The Struggle of the Bots viewed the highest possible interaction of any type of asynchronous Summer months of AI occasion.Selina's instructional history aligns with her focus on the combinative as well as collaborative components of Digital Makeover. She received her bachelor's degree in company control along with a focus in personnel administration as well as her master's level in education and learning as well as trainee undertakings, which led to her enthusiasm in NASA's teaching fellowship and also mentorship plans.
