.As a Human Resource Service Companion at NASA Main Office, Selina Salgado illustrates her work as assisting with "all things individuals" for the business. By helping with technological options to personnels (HUMAN RESOURCES) problems and necessities, she succeeds at an often-underestimated element of Digital Transformation (DT): the social side. As a champ of area structure, know-how sharing, and also digital upskilling, Selina was actually a quick and easy selection for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina began at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways intern and also previously operated as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Area Air Travel Center (MSFC), which is where her Digital Change quest started. At MSFC, she made an all-in-one, automated unit for available task postings, which lowered the agency's time to choose as well as increased visibility for accessible openings. She has aspirations for further leveraging these kinds of systems to strengthen comprehensive teaming throughout NASA by making HR tools available as well as interoperable across facilities. Her current staff under the Office of the Main Person Financing Police Officer (OCHCO) works with an 80-20 mentality, operating to create popular devices as well as remedies that are actually 80% interoperable as well as twenty% customizable to the details association or even situation..In addition to her technical deal with digital human resources resources like the automated job board, Selina volunteers to aid people understand what makeover suggests to them and also how to exercise makeover in their day-to-days live. In cooperation with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina produced the brand-new Change Tips (TxTips) set, which features NASA employees' tech-related pointers for performing their work. The quick recognition of the community-led series triggered audio speaker requests for TxTip discussions from numerous various other offices at NASA, featuring the Office of STEM Interaction..Very most lately, Selina has actually come to be a key factor as well as companion in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling project to assist workers make best use of the advantages of AI while handling risks. As a self-taught programmer, Selina has made several tools and applications to improve agency-wide partnership as well as information selection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, as well as Power BI, included along with SharePoint, to nourish records to a control panel used by the Agency Principal artificial intelligence Officer to brief the Administrator on effect metrics coming from the Summertime of AI campaign. Selina additionally established as well as executed many celebrations to engage and also delight the workforce around this campaign, featuring developing the organization's 1st "Fight of the Bots" occasion. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Just about anything" occasion aided workers know the distinctions in large language versions through matching ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to reply to participant-submitted prompts and also concerns. The Struggle of the Bots saw the greatest interaction of any sort of asynchronous Summer season of AI occasion.Selina's educational history straightens with her focus on the connective and collective components of Digital Makeover. She received her bachelor's degree in organization management along with a concentration in human resource management and her professional's degree in education and also pupil events, which triggered her passion in NASA's teaching fellowship and also mentorship courses. The connection part, she says, is what she enjoys very most around working together along with DT. "If you run into a problem, there is actually an area of technique around for you to reach out to and involve along with ... to develop that network with other employees that are interested in and zealous regarding improvement.".The other influence Selina points to along her Digital Transformation adventure is her armed forces background. "I matured in an armed forces family, and after that I joined the Naval force right out of high school. There is actually a culture there certainly of how to obtain traits done," says Selina. "What steers my interest for methods as well as devices is actually that it's transferrable to someone else ... I need to be capable to pass that on the following individual." She gets vitalized through learning brand new devices as well as locating services to obstructions, specifically when she can easily create operations for others to take advantage of as well as improve her work. "That is actually one thing that I really love about change and also only transform typically-- that you reach develop and also know and also get in touch with brand new folks.".If there is actually one information Selina expects to disperse at NASA via her accomplishments as a Digital Transformer, it is actually that Digital Transformation is for everybody. "You don't need to remain in IT, you don't need to have that background or even technical [capacity]," she claims. "I mean, I remain in human resources. Any sort of field at NASA can easily use the digital landscape as well as electronic makeover. Those concepts as well as resources are actually available for everyone.".
