August 2024 Transformer of the Month: Selina Salgado

.As a Personnel Organization Partner at NASA Head Office, Selina Salgado explains her project as aiding with "all points individuals" for the venture. Through helping with technological solutions to personnels (HUMAN RESOURCES) challenges and demands, she excels at an often-underestimated element of Digital Improvement (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champ of neighborhood structure, knowledge sharing, as well as electronic upskilling, Selina was a simple collection for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee as well as earlier worked as a mentoring organizer for Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), which is where her Digital Improvement experience began. At MSFC, she generated an all-in-one, automated unit for open job postings, which minimized the company's time to tap the services of as well as raised visibility for readily available jobs. She possesses desires for additional leveraging these forms of bodies to enhance broad teaming around NASA through bring in human resources resources accessible as well as interoperable all over centers. Her present group under the Workplace of the Main Human Funding Police Officer (OCHCO) operates with an 80-20 mindset, working to develop common resources as well as options that are 80% interoperable and twenty% customizable to the particular organization or even scenario..Along with her technical service digital HR resources like the automated work board, Selina takes initiative to assist individuals understand what transformation means to all of them and also just how to practice change in their day-to-days live. In cooperation along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina developed the new Transformation Tips (TxTips) series, which features NASA staff members' tech-related ideas for performing their work. The instant appeal of the community-led series triggered audio speaker requests for TxTip discussions coming from a number of various other offices at NASA, consisting of the Office of STEM Engagement..Very most lately, Selina has become a key contributor and also partner in NASA's Summer of AI upskilling project to aid staff members optimize the advantages of AI while dealing with risks. As a self-taught designer, Selina has generated numerous devices as well as applications to streamline agency-wide collaboration and also data collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, as well as Energy BI, integrated along with SharePoint, to supply data to a dashboard used by the Agency Principal artificial intelligence Police officer to orient the Supervisor on effect metrics from the Summer months of AI campaign. Selina also created and also implemented several activities to interact and delight the labor force around this initiative, featuring developing the organization's very first "War of the Bots" occasion. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Just about anything" event assisted workers know the variations in large language models through matching ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to reply to participant-submitted cues and also inquiries.

"You do not must be in IT, you don't need to possess that history or even specialized [capacity]," she points out. "I suggest, I'm in human resources. Any sort of area at NASA can easily utilize the digital landscape as well as digital improvement. Those guidelines and information are offered for everyone.".
