.As a Personnel Company Companion at NASA Company Headquaters, Selina Salgado describes her job as aiding with "all things individuals" for the company. Through assisting in technical services to human resources (HR) obstacles and requirements, she stands out at an often-underestimated aspect of Digital Improvement (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champion of neighborhood property, expertise sharing, and also digital upskilling, Selina was an easy assortment for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also previously worked as a mentoring coordinator for Marshall Space Trip Facility (MSFC), which is where her Digital Transformation journey started. At MSFC, she developed an all-in-one, automated unit for accessible job postings, which reduced the agency's opportunity to hire and also increased exposure for readily available positions. She possesses desires for further leveraging these kinds of bodies to enhance comprehensive teaming all over NASA by making HR resources on call and interoperable around facilities. Her existing team under the Workplace of the Principal Human Being Funds Police Officer (OCHCO) works with an 80-20 attitude, operating to produce popular devices as well as services that are 80% interoperable and also twenty% customizable to the particular association or circumstance..Besides her technical work on digital human resources tools like the automated project board, Selina volunteers to help individuals know what change suggests to all of them and also just how to practice improvement in their every day lives. In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina developed the brand-new Improvement Tips (TxTips) collection, which includes NASA employees' tech-related tips for doing their job. The immediate attraction of the community-led series caused audio speaker requests for TxTip discussions from a number of various other offices at NASA, consisting of the Workplace of STEM Interaction..Most just recently, Selina has actually become a crucial factor and also partner in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling campaign to help workers optimize the advantages of AI while dealing with risks. As a self-taught designer, Selina has actually developed several tools and apps to streamline agency-wide collaboration and information selection.

Selina likewise cultivated and executed many celebrations to involve and excite the labor force around this campaign, featuring developing the firm's very first "Fight of the Bots" activity. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Everything" event assisted staff members comprehend the distinctions in sizable foreign language designs through countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted prompts and also questions. The Fight of the Bots saw the highest possible engagement of any sort of asynchronous Summer season of AI activity.Selina's informative history lines up with her concentrate on the combinative and also collective aspects of Digital Transformation. She received her undergraduate's degree in service management along with a concentration in personnel management as well as her master's level in learning and also pupil affairs, which led to her enthusiasm in NASA's internship and mentorship programs.

"You don't need to remain in IT, you don't need to possess that history or even technological [potential]," she says. "I indicate, I reside in human resources. Any sort of area at NASA may use the electronic yard as well as digital makeover. Those guidelines and information are actually on call for everybody.".
