August 2024 Transformer of the Month: Selina Salgado

.As a Human Resource Business Partner at NASA Base, Selina Salgado explains her work as aiding with "all traits individuals" for the enterprise.

In partnership with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina produced the brand new Transformation Tips (TxTips) collection, which features NASA employees' tech-related ideas for doing their work. The on-the-spot recognition of the community-led collection triggered audio speaker ask for TxTip discussions coming from many other workplaces at NASA, consisting of the Office of Stalk Engagement..Very most lately, Selina has ended up being a vital factor and also companion in NASA's Summer months of AI upskilling project to assist workers make the most of the advantages of AI while dealing with risks.
