(who hasn't actually been photographed with her permission since
the 4th grade picnic) is a renowned soap opera journalist, who has written for top celebrity magazines, such as, Star Magazine and Soap Opera Magazine and also wrote a soap opera column for the New York Post under her byline. Currently,
Zulli has extended her numerous talents and is freelancing for
Woman's World, a nationwide Woman's Weekly Magazine and, of course, she contributes to the top
syndicated online magazine, UPBEAT Entertainment News. Zulli started her career 15 years ago as a Photo Assistant at Star Magazine and worked her way into the editorial department, where she became an Editorial Assistant. There, she wrote feature columns including, the Last Word
(What's New In Television, Movies, Books, Music; Star Facts; Home Videos (reviews and ratings);
in addition to fillers and short feature articles. A few years later, in addition to writing these features,

Zulli was promoted to Daytime Editor of Star Magazine writing a weekly page focusing on soap stars and television daytime dramas. Varied content included, several different types of soap opera stories focusing on plotlines and personalities; casting items and news items. In 1995,
Zulli was asked to join
the company's (American Media) team at Soap Opera Magazine, which was based in Florida, but relocated its offices the Star office in Tarrytown, New York. As News Editor she wrote and edited articles for the news section. As the magazine and sales grew,

on a more active part in the magazines development.

Zulli can't get enough of her soaps, she now enjoys the challenges of writing for another part of the industry.
