.As a Human Resource Business Partner at NASA Head Office, Selina Salgado defines her job as helping with "all traits people" for the organization. By promoting technical options to personnels (HR) problems and also demands, she stands out at an often-underestimated aspect of Digital Transformation (DT): the social side. As a champion of area structure, understanding sharing, and also electronic upskilling, Selina was actually an easy collection for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina began at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee as well as previously functioned as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Area Trip Facility (MSFC), which is where her Digital Transformation experience began. At MSFC, she generated an all-in-one, automated body for open job posts, which lessened the company's time to choose and raised exposure for offered roles.

In collaboration with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina created the brand-new Improvement Tips (TxTips) set, which features NASA staff members' tech-related recommendations for performing their job. The quick popularity of the community-led set led to speaker requests for TxTip presentations from many various other offices at NASA, including the Workplace of Stalk Engagement..Most recently, Selina has actually ended up being a key contributor as well as partner in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling initiative to help staff members take full advantage of the advantages of AI while managing dangers. As a self-taught designer, Selina has produced numerous devices as well as applications to streamline agency-wide collaboration and data selection. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, and also Power BI, integrated along with SharePoint, to feed data to a dash utilized by the Company Principal AI Policeman to orient the Supervisor on influence metrics from the Summer season of AI project. Selina additionally created as well as implemented many activities to involve as well as thrill the staff around this project, featuring conceiving the firm's 1st "Fight of the Bots" activity.
