.As a Personnel Organization Partner at NASA Head Office, Selina Salgado explains her task as assisting with "all factors individuals" for the enterprise. By assisting in technological answers to human resources (HR) problems and requirements, she excels at an often-underestimated facet of Digital Transformation (DT): the interpersonal edge. As a champion of community building, expertise sharing, as well as electronic upskilling, Selina was an easy choice for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and formerly functioned as a mentoring planner for Marshall Space Air Travel Facility (MSFC), which is where her Digital Improvement experience started. At MSFC, she developed an all-in-one, automated system for open project postings, which minimized the company's opportunity to work with as well as increased presence for available openings. She possesses desires for further leveraging these forms of devices to improve inclusive teaming throughout NASA by bring in HR devices offered and also interoperable around centers. Her present team under the Workplace of the Chief Human Funding Officer (OCHCO) works along with an 80-20 way of thinking, operating to develop typical tools and also solutions that are 80% interoperable as well as 20% adjustable to the specific company or circumstance..In addition to her specialized work with digital HR devices like the automated job board, Selina takes initiative to aid folks know what improvement indicates to them and exactly how to exercise makeover in their day-to-days live. In collaboration with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina made the brand new Makeover Tips (TxTips) series, which includes NASA employees' tech-related pointers for performing their job. The instantaneous appeal of the community-led set resulted in speaker ask for TxTip presentations coming from numerous other offices at NASA, including the Office of Stalk Engagement..Most lately, Selina has actually come to be an essential contributor and companion in NASA's Summer season of AI upskilling project to aid staff members maximize the benefits of AI while handling threats. As a self-taught developer, Selina has actually made several tools as well as applications to enhance agency-wide partnership and information selection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and also Power BI, integrated along with SharePoint, to supply information to a control panel made use of due to the Agency Chief artificial intelligence Police officer to brief the Manager on impact metrics coming from the Summer season of AI initiative. Selina additionally built and also performed a number of activities to involve and also excite the workforce around this campaign, including conceiving the organization's very first "Battle of the Bots" activity. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Everything" occasion aided staff members comprehend the distinctions in large foreign language styles by pitting ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted triggers and also concerns. The War of the Bots found the highest interaction of any asynchronous Summertime of artificial intelligence event.Selina's academic history straightens along with her concentrate on the combinative as well as collaborative elements of Digital Change. She acquired her undergraduate's level in service management with a focus in human resource administration and her expert's degree in education and learning as well as student affairs, which triggered her interest in NASA's teaching fellowship and also mentorship courses.

"You don't need to be in IT, you don't have to possess that history or technological [ability]," she mentions. "I mean, I reside in HR. Any kind of field at NASA can easily take advantage of the electronic landscape and also electronic makeover. Those principles and resources are actually on call for everybody.".
