Meagan Sullivan’s original plan was to be a kindergarten teacher. The idea of teaching children intrigued her.
She lasted two months.
Sullivan, 34, is helping people in another way, working as an Erie County 911 telecommunicator. She sits behind a bank of eight large computer screens at the county’s 911 center in Summit Township, receiving emergency calls from the public, assessing each situation, and dispatching ambulances, firefighters or police to the scene if needed.
