Rachel Chapman

Rachel Chapman is an Experiences Writer for Elite Daily, where she writes about anything experiential from travel to TikTok and even Taylor Swift. Since she’s based in Los Angeles, Rachel has also assisted BDG at red carpet events, including the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards.

Rachel graduated from New York University with a degree in Film & Television with a focus on writing. She has written headlines for Reductress, promos for Spike TV, sketch shows at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater, and screenplays and pilots that have been finalists in festivals like Final Draft's Big Break Contest. She also hosted the podcasts You've Got Hanks, Inside The Disney Vault, and I Need To Talk TikTok. In school, Rachel interned at places like Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, Saturday Night Live, and Sesame Workshop.

When she's not writing about Insta-worthy experiences, Rachel spends most her time with her cat, Lady Tom Hanks, eating food, or watching BTS videos (her bias is Jin). She’s received three letters from the actual Tom Hanks, and her favorite interview she’s ever done for Elite Daily was with Pedro Pascal, where they talked about Baby Yoda and Starbucks.
