In cooperation with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina developed the brand new Makeover Tips (TxTips) set, which features NASA staff members' tech-related recommendations for performing their job. The instantaneous appeal of the community-led collection caused audio speaker ask for TxTip presentations from a number of various other workplaces at NASA, featuring the Workplace of STEM Involvement..Most just recently, Selina has come to be an essential factor and also companion in NASA's Summer season of AI upskilling project to help staff members maximize the benefits of AI while dealing with threats. As a self-taught developer, Selina has actually developed a number of resources as well as applications to simplify agency-wide partnership and also information compilation.

Any sort of industry at NASA can use the digital garden and digital improvement. Those concepts as well as sources are actually accessible for everyone.".
