Elected as the 2013 – 2014 President of the Associated Students of Modesto Junior College, Andrew strived to ensure that all student voices were heard and student funds were spent wisely. In addition to his service as President, Andrew was honored to represent all community college students in the California Central Valley as one of three Region V Senators in the Student Senate for California Community Colleges.

Whilst in the Completion Corps, Andrew worked with numerous other student leaders across the state to advocate for basic skills funding and brainstormed ways that community colleges can better serve their student populations.
As his various student government positions were coming to a close, Andrew was hired on as a Student Services Representative for the Modesto District Office of Congressman Jeff Denham. As the primary outreach arm between Congressman Denham and the student populations of Stanislaus County, Andrew worked diligently to ensure that students were well informed of federal education assistance programs.
