Her existing team under the Office of the Chief Person Resources Policeman (OCHCO) works along with an 80-20 mentality, working to generate popular devices and remedies that are actually 80% interoperable and also 20% personalized to the details association or case..Along with her technological deal with electronic HR resources like the automated task panel, Selina takes initiative to help folks recognize what transformation indicates to them and how to practice improvement in their lives. In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina created the brand-new Improvement Tips (TxTips) series, which includes NASA staff members' tech-related tips for performing their job. The on-the-spot popularity of the community-led set brought about speaker requests for TxTip presentations coming from a number of various other offices at NASA, consisting of the Office of STEM Engagement..Very most recently, Selina has actually come to be a crucial factor as well as partner in NASA's Summer of AI upskilling campaign to aid workers maximize the advantages of AI while handling threats. As a self-taught creator, Selina has developed a number of resources and also applications to simplify agency-wide partnership as well as records assortment.

Selina additionally established and also performed numerous events to involve and thrill the workforce around this initiative, consisting of developing the organization's initial "War of the Bots" event. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Everything" celebration aided staff members comprehend the distinctions in large foreign language models by pitting ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted triggers and also inquiries. The Battle of the Bots found the highest involvement of any sort of asynchronous Summer months of AI celebration.Selina's informative history lines up with her concentrate on the connective as well as collaborative elements of Digital Transformation.

"You do not have to reside in IT, you don't need to possess that background or even technical [ability]," she states. "I imply, I remain in HR. Any sort of field at NASA can easily make use of the digital yard and also electronic change. Those guidelines and resources are accessible for everyone.".
