.As a Personnel Company Companion at NASA Company Headquaters, Selina Salgado describes her work as helping with "all things individuals" for the company.

Selina likewise created and also performed numerous celebrations to interact and also excite the labor force around this campaign, featuring developing the company's first "War of the Bots" event. Her Reddit-style "Inquire Me Anything" celebration aided workers comprehend the variations in big language designs by countering ChatGPT versus Microsoft CoPilot to react to participant-submitted urges and also concerns.
