.As a Human Resource Service Companion at NASA Base, Selina Salgado illustrates her job as assisting with "all factors folks" for the venture. Through facilitating technological answers to human resources (HR) challenges as well as necessities, she excels at an often-underestimated element of Digital Makeover (DT): the interpersonal side. As a champ of area structure, understanding sharing, and electronic upskilling, Selina was a simple assortment for this month's Digital Transformer honor..Selina began at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also earlier operated as a mentoring planner for Marshall Room Tour Center (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Improvement journey started. At MSFC, she generated an all-in-one, automated body for available task postings, which decreased the agency's opportunity to tap the services of and also enhanced exposure for on call jobs. She possesses goals for further leveraging these forms of systems to strengthen inclusive teaming all over NASA by bring in human resources devices on call and interoperable across centers.
