Zachary H.
Professional Creator and Storyteller
I’m a media creator with a passion for storytelling across video, audio, and digital platforms. I started by earning an associate’s degree in video/audio communication from Metropolitan Community College, where I learned the full production pipeline—shooting, editing, producing, and everything in between. I continued my education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, completing a bachelor’s degree in journalism and media communication. There, I sharpened my writing, refined my on-camera presence, and strengthened my understanding of how stories connect with audiences. Professionally, I spent the past two years at Straight Arrow News—first as a Video Editor, then as a Video Editor Manager. In these roles, I developed advanced technical skills, learned to work quickly under deadline pressure, and grew into a leadership position where I guided other editors and upheld quality standards across daily content. The experience taught me how to balance creativity with structure and bring raw footage to life with clarity, pacing, and intention. I take pride in working efficiently, collaborating respectfully, and staying passionate about every project I take on. I’m always learning, always creating, and always pushing to tell stronger stories.
