AUBREY ANDERSON
Aubrey had an internship most students could only dream of- she was selected as a Game Day communications intern for the Minnesota Vikings. For each home game, Aubrey worked in the press box at U.S. Bank Stadium, transcribing player and coach interviews, delivering stats, and working with the press. Aubrey will never forget the communication skills she gained and the excitement she felt at Super Bowl LII.
