.As a Human Resource Company Partner at NASA Main Office, Selina Salgado explains her job as aiding with "all points people" for the enterprise. Through helping with technical options to personnels (HR) problems and demands, she stands out at an often-underestimated component of Digital Change (DT): the social edge.

In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina generated the brand-new Makeover Tips (TxTips) set, which features NASA staff members' tech-related tips for performing their work. The instant recognition of the community-led collection resulted in speaker requests for TxTip discussions from a number of various other workplaces at NASA, featuring the Office of Stalk Interaction..Very most lately, Selina has become an essential contributor and partner in NASA's Summertime of AI upskilling project to assist employees take full advantage of the benefits of AI while handling risks. As a self-taught programmer, Selina has actually developed many devices and also apps to streamline agency-wide cooperation and also information collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and also Power BI, combined along with SharePoint, to nourish information to a dashboard utilized due to the Company Main artificial intelligence Officer to orient the Manager on effect metrics coming from the Summer months of artificial intelligence project. Selina likewise built as well as performed a number of celebrations to interact and thrill the workforce around this campaign, including developing the agency's very first "Battle of the Bots" activity. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Anything" occasion aided employees recognize the differences in big language models through countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted urges as well as questions.
