Mullen has competed and won championships at every level, including high school and collegiate bowling and Professional Women's Bowling Association (PWBA) regional and national bowling. She holds four national titles and a record nine regional titles in the PWBA. She was also the 1990-1999 PWBA Regional Player of the Decade.

She and Sill run an annual fundraising event, called "Bowl-4-Animal Rescue" (bowl4animalrescue.org), with 100% of the proceeds benefitting local animal charities. Mullen is from Chicago and lives in Livonia, Michigan, along with her 3 dogs and four cats, who insist that "rescued is her favorite breed".
