From 1994 to 2004, Mullen was a senior policy adviser at AARP, where she researched and wrote about federal poverty programs, including the effect of welfare reform on grandparent-headed households and how Medicaid policy affects nursing home residents.
She has a strong interest in access to justice. Starting in 2006, students working under her supervision have had the opportunity to staff the Small Claims Resource Center, one of the first court-annexed resource centers at the District of Columbia Superior Court. In 2009, she was named one of four national Bellow Scholars for her work on improving access to justice at the District of Columbia Office of Administrative Hearings.
An article Mullen co-authored with Enrique Pumar, chair of the CUA Department of Sociology, published in the University of the District of Columbia Law Review.
