August 2024 Transformer of the Month: Selina Salgado

.As a Human Resource Service Companion at NASA Base, Selina Salgado defines her task as aiding with "all points folks" for the enterprise. By promoting technological solutions to human resources (HUMAN RESOURCES) challenges as well as demands, she excels at an often-underestimated element of Digital Transformation (DT): the social edge. As a champion of neighborhood property, know-how sharing, and digital upskilling, Selina was an easy option for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee as well as previously operated as a mentoring coordinator for Marshall Area Flight Center (MSFC), which is where her Digital Transformation adventure started. At MSFC, she created an all-in-one, automated device for accessible task postings, which lowered the company's opportunity to tap the services of as well as boosted exposure for accessible jobs. She possesses desires for more leveraging these kinds of systems to enhance broad teaming around NASA through bring in human resources devices on call as well as interoperable across facilities. Her present group under the Office of the Principal Person Resources Police Officer (OCHCO) functions along with an 80-20 mindset, functioning to create popular tools as well as services that are actually 80% interoperable and also twenty% personalized to the specific association or even scenario..Aside from her technical work with electronic HR devices like the automated job panel, Selina volunteers to aid folks know what makeover suggests to them and also just how to perform improvement in their lives. In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina developed the new Transformation Tips (TxTips) collection, which includes NASA workers' tech-related recommendations for doing their work. The instantaneous attraction of the community-led collection resulted in audio speaker requests for TxTip presentations coming from many various other offices at NASA, featuring the Office of Stalk Engagement..Very most recently, Selina has come to be a vital factor and also partner in NASA's Summer season of AI upskilling campaign to aid employees make best use of the perks of AI while dealing with threats. As a self-taught designer, Selina has created many devices and applications to streamline agency-wide partnership as well as data compilation. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, and Energy BI, integrated with SharePoint, to supply information to a dash made use of due to the Agency Principal AI Officer to orient the Supervisor on effect metrics coming from the Summer months of AI initiative. Selina also created and also implemented a number of occasions to involve and also delight the workforce around this initiative, including developing the firm's first "War of the Bots" activity. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Anything" celebration helped staff members understand the variations in big language models by countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted motivates and also questions. The Struggle of the Bots viewed the highest involvement of any kind of asynchronous Summer of artificial intelligence occasion.Selina's instructional history straightens along with her pay attention to the connective and joint facets of Digital Improvement. She obtained her undergraduate's degree in business management along with a focus in personnel control and her professional's degree in education as well as student undertakings, which caused her passion in NASA's internship as well as mentorship systems.

"You don't have to remain in IT, you do not need to possess that background or even specialized [capacity]," she points out. "I suggest, I remain in human resources. Any type of field at NASA can easily utilize the electronic garden as well as electronic change. Those concepts as well as resources are actually offered for everyone.".
