About Rachel Paula Abrahamson

I am a parenting writer with more than two decades of experience in print and digital media. I am currently a lifestyle reporter at TODAY.com, where I have been the most-read author on the site for two years in a row. In 2023, my stories amassed 54 million page views. I write long-form features, daily news, and personal essays. The majority of the stories I write fall under the human interest umbrella. I have a knack for tracking down subjects, and getting them to open up to me. Not only am I fast, my copy is clean and requires little to no edits. My stories are regularly featured on the TODAY Show as well as NBC Nightly News.I have maintained strong relationships with celebrity publicists and regularly book major talent for digital interviews. I am also regularly in touch with influencer talent agencies. I am particularly good at conducting nuanced celebrity interviews and finding fresh angles that get picked up by outlets including People, CNN, USA Today, the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post.
