.As a Human Resource Business Partner at NASA Company Headquaters, Selina Salgado illustrates her job as assisting with "all points folks" for the venture. By assisting in technical solutions to personnels (HR) problems and also necessities, she stands out at an often-underestimated element of Digital Transformation (DT): the social edge. As a champion of neighborhood building, know-how sharing, and also digital upskilling, Selina was a quick and easy collection for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee as well as formerly worked as a mentoring planner for Marshall Space Air Travel Center (MSFC), which is where her Digital Improvement journey began.

In partnership with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina developed the new Change Tips (TxTips) collection, which features NASA employees' tech-related tips for performing their work. The instantaneous popularity of the community-led collection caused sound speaker requests for TxTip discussions coming from several other offices at NASA, consisting of the Office of STEM Interaction..Most lately, Selina has ended up being a vital factor as well as partner in NASA's Summertime of AI upskilling initiative to aid employees take full advantage of the perks of AI while handling threats. As a self-taught creator, Selina has actually created many devices as well as applications to streamline agency-wide cooperation as well as information selection.

Selina additionally established and implemented several celebrations to involve and delight the labor force around this campaign, including developing the organization's 1st "War of the Bots" activity. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Everything" activity helped staff members understand the differences in huge language versions by countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to reply to participant-submitted causes and also questions.
