.As a Personnel Business Partner at NASA Main Office, Selina Salgado describes her work as aiding with "all points individuals" for the organization. By helping with technological services to human resources (HUMAN RESOURCES) obstacles and also demands, she excels at an often-underestimated aspect of Digital Improvement (DT): the interpersonal side.

In collaboration with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina produced the brand-new Change Tips (TxTips) series, which features NASA staff members' tech-related ideas for doing their work. The instantaneous level of popularity of the community-led set caused sound speaker ask for TxTip discussions coming from a number of other offices at NASA, featuring the Office of STEM Involvement..Most just recently, Selina has actually become a crucial factor and also partner in NASA's Summertime of AI upskilling project to help staff members maximize the perks of AI while taking care of risks. As a self-taught programmer, Selina has produced several tools and applications to improve agency-wide partnership and also records selection. She leveraged PowerApps, Electrical power Automate, and Energy BI, combined along with SharePoint, to feed information to a dash utilized due to the Agency Principal AI Officer to brief the Supervisor on impact metrics coming from the Summer season of artificial intelligence project. Selina likewise cultivated as well as implemented many occasions to interact as well as thrill the labor force around this project, consisting of developing the agency's 1st "Fight of the Bots" occasion.
