I've reported live from under missile fire. I've interviewed Sergio Ramos, Ronaldinho, and Benjamin Netanyahu. I've anchored breaking news at midnight and hosted travel segments by morning. And somehow, it all started with a Public Policy degree from Duke.
I'm Natasha Raquel Kirtchuk — prime-time news anchor, international correspondent, and a genuinely restless storyteller who can't sit still (literally — I've been to over 40 countries and I'm already planning the next one).
I grew up between New York City, Argentina, and Israel, which means I've never really had just one home — and that's shaped everything about how I see the world and the stories I'm drawn to. I'm trilingual in English, Spanish, and Hebrew, and I've spent my career chasing stories across all three.
Over the past decade I've anchored prime-time at i24NEWS, helped build ILTV from the ground up as Head of Content and Lead Anchor, produced at CBS affiliate WRAL and FOX 5 in New York, reported for Israel's top networks Reshet and Keshet, covered the Champions League pitchside, and had the honor of serving as international media aide to Shimon Peres — the last president of Israel and oldest head of state in the world at the time.
What I do goes beyond reading a teleprompter. I develop and lead creative teams, build original programming from concept to air, craft brand narratives, work with clients on written and visual content, and coach executives and students on on-camera presence. I'm as comfortable running an editorial meeting as I am going live on a breaking news desk with thirty seconds' notice. Hard news, human interest, sports, innovation, health, travel — I don't believe in staying in one lane. The best journalists don't.
If you have a story you'd like me to tell, I'd love to hear it.
xoxo, Natasha
