Mullin is graduating with a bachelor's degree in Spanish and a bachelor's degree in Global and International Studies, along with a minor in Labor and Employment Relations and a teaching certificate in English as a Second Language. Named to the dean's list several times, she is a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
Active in the community, Mullin has served as a volunteer translator and interpreter for various Penn State student organizations. She has also served as a translator for Art Sphere Institute, a non-profit organization, as a translator and interpreter for AccuWeather Inc., and as a tutor for Spanish and English language learners at State College Area High School.
