.As a Human Resource Company Partner at NASA Headquarters, Selina Salgado explains her job as aiding with "all points folks" for the enterprise. By assisting in technological answers to personnels (HR) problems and also necessities, she stands out at an often-underestimated facet of Digital Improvement (DT): the social side. As a champ of community building, know-how sharing, and also electronic upskilling, Selina was actually a quick and easy variety for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways intern and also formerly operated as a mentoring planner for Marshall Area Air Travel Facility (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Improvement experience started. At MSFC, she created an all-in-one, automated system for available work postings, which reduced the organization's time to work with as well as raised presence for available roles. She possesses aspirations for additional leveraging these types of systems to boost broad teaming around NASA through making HR devices on call and also interoperable around facilities. Her present group under the Workplace of the Chief Human Being Funding Officer (OCHCO) functions with an 80-20 mentality, functioning to produce typical devices and also solutions that are actually 80% interoperable and also twenty% adjustable to the certain association or case..Along with her technical service digital HR devices like the automated job panel, Selina volunteers to assist folks understand what makeover indicates to all of them and exactly how to engage in improvement in their every day lives. In collaboration with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina generated the new Makeover Tips (TxTips) set, which includes NASA staff members' tech-related recommendations for performing their work. The on-the-spot recognition of the community-led collection caused audio speaker requests for TxTip discussions from numerous other offices at NASA, consisting of the Office of STEM Involvement..Very most lately, Selina has ended up being a vital factor and companion in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling initiative to help workers optimize the advantages of AI while managing threats. As a self-taught designer, Selina has generated many tools and also applications to streamline agency-wide collaboration as well as records assortment. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and also Power BI, integrated along with SharePoint, to nourish records to a dash utilized due to the Firm Principal AI Policeman to inform the Manager on impact metrics from the Summer season of artificial intelligence project. Selina additionally cultivated and also executed several occasions to involve as well as thrill the workforce around this initiative, consisting of conceiving the firm's initial "Fight of the Bots" celebration. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Everything" occasion helped employees comprehend the distinctions in big language versions by pitting ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to reply to participant-submitted cues and also questions.

"You do not have to remain in IT, you do not need to have that background or even technological [capacity]," she says. "I mean, I'm in HR. Any field at NASA can use the digital landscape and digital makeover. Those guidelines and also sources are readily available for everybody.".
