.As a Human Resource Business Partner at NASA Central Office, Selina Salgado illustrates her task as helping with "all points people" for the venture. By helping with technical remedies to personnels (HUMAN RESOURCES) obstacles as well as necessities, she succeeds at an often-underestimated facet of Digital Change (DT): the social side. As a champion of neighborhood building, expertise sharing, and electronic upskilling, Selina was an effortless collection for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also recently functioned as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Room Flight Facility (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Change adventure started. At MSFC, she generated an all-in-one, automated system for accessible project postings, which lowered the agency's time to work with and boosted presence for available openings. She has desires for more leveraging these types of systems to enhance inclusive teaming throughout NASA by creating human resources resources offered and also interoperable across facilities. Her present crew under the Office of the Principal Human Capital Officer (OCHCO) functions along with an 80-20 way of thinking, working to generate typical tools and remedies that are 80% interoperable and twenty% personalized to the particular association or case..Along with her technical work with electronic human resources tools like the automated project board, Selina volunteers to assist people comprehend what makeover indicates to them and exactly how to perform makeover in their day-to-days live. In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina made the new Improvement Tips (TxTips) series, which includes NASA workers' tech-related recommendations for performing their job. The instantaneous appeal of the community-led set brought about speaker requests for TxTip discussions from numerous various other workplaces at NASA, consisting of the Workplace of STEM Interaction..Most lately, Selina has actually become an essential contributor and also companion in NASA's Summer of AI upskilling campaign to aid workers make best use of the advantages of AI while managing dangers. As a self-taught programmer, Selina has produced numerous devices as well as apps to enhance agency-wide collaboration and also information collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Power Automate, and also Electrical power BI, combined with SharePoint, to feed records to a dash utilized due to the Company Main AI Officer to brief the Administrator on impact metrics from the Summertime of artificial intelligence campaign. Selina also built and executed numerous activities to involve and also thrill the labor force around this campaign, featuring developing the company's first "Battle of the Bots" celebration. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Everything" activity helped workers recognize the variations in large foreign language styles through pitting ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to reply to participant-submitted prompts as well as concerns. The War of the Bots observed the highest possible engagement of any type of asynchronous Summer of artificial intelligence occasion.Selina's instructional history straightens along with her pay attention to the combinative and also collective parts of Digital Transformation.

"You do not must be in IT, you don't must have that background or even technological [capability]," she mentions. "I suggest, I'm in human resources. Any area at NASA can make use of the digital landscape as well as electronic makeover. Those principles and sources are actually readily available for everybody.".
