August 2024 Transformer of the Month: Selina Salgado

.As a Human Resource Organization Partner at NASA Head Office, Selina Salgado illustrates her job as aiding with "all traits folks" for the venture. By promoting technical services to personnels (HR) problems and also demands, she stands out at an often-underestimated part of Digital Change (DT): the social edge. As a champion of area building, knowledge sharing, and electronic upskilling, Selina was a very easy option for this month's Digital Transformer award..Selina started at NASA in 2019 as a Pathways trainee and also recently functioned as a mentoring planner for Marshall Space Trip Facility (MSFC), which is actually where her Digital Makeover adventure started.

In cooperation along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina made the brand-new Makeover Tips (TxTips) set, which features NASA staff members' tech-related suggestions for performing their work.
