As Community Engagement Manager for the Parliament of Victoria, over the past seven years Andres has worked with business units across parliament to develop and implement our first and subsequent community engagement strategies.

Andres has also undertaken capacity building and professional development work for the Inter-Parliamentary Union and United Nations Development Programme in a range of countries.
