Monica Landers ’91 rarely had a dull moment as a producer for ABC’s “Good Morning America.” Her unpredictable and exhilarating job often found her reporting breaking news stories as they happened.

“I kept a packed bag in the trunk of my car, and I would have to catch a plane at a moment’s notice,” she says. Landers was on the scene at the Oklahoma City bombing and covered the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. “That job was really challenging, and I loved working for ABC. But I think my adrenaline started to burn out after a while,” she says.

Her newest post, as director of communications for Schlotzsky’s, Inc. keeps her on the ground, but is not lacking in excitement. She is responsible for website strategy, online marketing, and part of the team that manages media relations and franchise communications, as the corporate headquarters also serves as a home office for the independent operators of Schlotzsky’s Deli.

The online newsletter she manages still gives her a chance to report the news, except now, “a breaking news story would be that the price of cheese is up,” she says.
