Hey! My name is Coby Moratti and jumping to conclusions, I want to be an international sports journalist somewhere around the globe one day. This dream is something I've held since age 5. NZBS has opened my eyes to all sorts of media and now, I am ready to learn any craft in the right environment.
This year, I started 'CT Sportstalk' on Plains FM, which is a live sports radio show uploaded to Spotify after broadcast. As well as this, I've been a commentary personnel across the University Tertiary Sports (UTSNZ) events this year. These are passion-driven extras which have helped me develop skills such as interviewing, fast-thinking and planning - whether for the show or a busy schedule.
In May, I put together my first visual story which was a preview of the Mt Cheeseman club ski field season. Working alongside a cam op, I built on my communication skills to outline what I wanted and allowed her to showcase her skills behind the lense too.
Lastly, these are some features of myself that I am proud of:
1. I'm from Red Beach, just north of Auckland and heavily involved with the Surf Club up there.
2. My passion is communicating, I back myself to build a relationship with pretty much anyone.
3. I completed the 2024 Hawkes Bay Marathon.
Any opportunity I'm given is one that I'll be grateful for and I am excited for the future.
Cheers, Coby
