In collaboration along with Jess Deibert, DT Digital Institute Lead, Selina created the brand-new Makeover Tips (TxTips) series, which includes NASA employees' tech-related pointers for performing their job. The on-the-spot popularity of the community-led series brought about sound speaker ask for TxTip presentations coming from several various other offices at NASA, consisting of the Office of Stalk Involvement..Very most recently, Selina has come to be a key contributor as well as partner in NASA's Summer of AI upskilling campaign to aid workers maximize the benefits of AI while dealing with dangers. As a self-taught creator, Selina has actually created a number of devices as well as apps to improve agency-wide collaboration and also information collection.

Selina additionally developed as well as executed several events to engage and also thrill the labor force around this campaign, consisting of becoming pregnant the organization's initial "War of the Bots" event. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Anything" occasion helped workers understand the variations in huge foreign language styles through countering ChatGPT against Microsoft CoPilot to respond to participant-submitted cues and also questions.
