.As a Personnel Business Partner at NASA Headquarters, Selina Salgado illustrates her job as assisting with "all points folks" for the enterprise.

In collaboration with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina developed the brand new Improvement Tips (TxTips) collection, which features NASA staff members' tech-related tips for doing their work. The instant attraction of the community-led collection brought about sound speaker requests for TxTip discussions coming from numerous other workplaces at NASA, including the Workplace of STEM Interaction..Very most just recently, Selina has become a key contributor and also companion in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling initiative to help workers make the most of the benefits of AI while taking care of dangers. As a self-taught programmer, Selina has actually generated numerous resources and also apps to streamline agency-wide cooperation and data collection. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, and Energy BI, combined along with SharePoint, to nourish data to a dashboard used by the Organization Main AI Police officer to brief the Supervisor on effect metrics from the Summer of AI initiative. Selina likewise cultivated and performed a number of occasions to interact and delight the workforce around this project, consisting of developing the organization's very first "Battle of the Bots" event.
