In collaboration with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Academy Lead, Selina created the new Change Tips (TxTips) collection, which includes NASA employees' tech-related recommendations for performing their work. The instantaneous popularity of the community-led collection resulted in speaker ask for TxTip presentations coming from a number of other workplaces at NASA, featuring the Workplace of STEM Interaction..Most lately, Selina has come to be a crucial contributor and partner in NASA's Summer season of AI upskilling project to assist staff members optimize the benefits of AI while managing risks. As a self-taught programmer, Selina has actually created numerous devices and applications to improve agency-wide cooperation as well as records assortment. She leveraged PowerApps, Energy Automate, as well as Power BI, included along with SharePoint, to supply information to a dash made use of due to the Organization Principal artificial intelligence Police officer to inform the Manager on effect metrics coming from the Summertime of artificial intelligence campaign. Selina additionally cultivated and also performed a number of celebrations to involve and also thrill the labor force around this initiative, including conceiving the company's 1st "Struggle of the Bots" occasion. Her Reddit-style "Ask Me Just about anything" occasion helped employees comprehend the variations in big language designs by countering ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to respond to participant-submitted causes and questions. The Fight of the Bots observed the greatest engagement of any sort of asynchronous Summertime of AI activity.Selina's informative background straightens with her concentrate on the connective as well as collective parts of Digital Transformation.

"You don't have to be in IT, you don't need to possess that history or even technological [capability]," she points out. "I imply, I reside in HR. Any type of field at NASA may utilize the digital garden and electronic change. Those principles and information are accessible for everybody.".
