About Rachel Hulshult

Rachel Hulshult is a writer of Star Trek Features for Screen Rant. She has an MFA in Screenwriting from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts. She loves getting lost in imaginary worlds, and if she's not writing, she's probably reading a fantasy novel or watching a sci-fi TV show. She dreams of working on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, but writing about Star Trek is cool, too.

She owns too many books and worked in a public library for several years before deciding to pursue writing full-time. She has also written test prep articles and study guides for Study.com.

Favorite Media

Rachel loves all of the Star Trek shows, but The Next Generation is her favorite, especially the episodes featuring Data. Of the currently airing shows, Strange New Worlds is the one she loves the most.

In addition to Star Trek, she loves Marvel movies, Supernatural, Stargate, The X-Files, Survivor, and most things Disney. She also enjoys video games, Taylor Swift music, and anything with Keanu Reeves.
