'Life Is Too Short To Not Be Enjoying Your Work:' A Profile Of Maureen Mullen
Resume
Doug Tribou hits the road, traveling to Lynn to profile The Daily Item's newest sports editor, Maureen Mullen.
Mullen got her start in the newspaper world in Lynn delivering the paper — a tradition among her siblings. She interned at The Daily Item before becoming a freelancer and writing for The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald, USA Today, MLB.com, and others.
But she doesn't just cover the major leagues. "I covered Little League opening days, too!" she says. She still gets to Fenway Park now and then, but in her new job feels right at home.

It was my first paying job."
