Paris is a Program Manager in Google's Open Source Programs Office focusing on the upstream Kubernetes Community. She is a member of the Kubernetes Steering Committee, co-chair of the special interest group for Contributor Experience, and an organizer of Bay Area Kubernetes Meetup with 4,000 members.
