I have 20+ years of experience writing in fiction, creative nonfiction, screenwriting, nonfiction theater, and digital learning. My work has appeared onstage at the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, in cinemas around the world, in Fast Company, and in digital learning platforms that have reached over 100,000 learners. 

As an editor, I’ve coached, edited, mentored, and cajoled over a dozen writers across fiction and nonfiction. 

I’m working on my first book, How We Stay: A Field Guide for Impossible Times, in collaboration with my father, the renowned death penalty defense attorney Richard Burr.

I’m an independent film producer, working across documentary, narrative, and branded content.

• Film: I run every aspect of pre-production, production, and post. I’ve led complex shoots everywhere from the middle of the Mongolian desert to the stage of a burnt-out WPA-era auditorium in Detroit. I oversee fundraising, marketing, pitching, and distribution. 

  My films have premiered and won awards at over 90 film festivals around the world, including CPH:Dox, International Film Festival Rotterdam, DOC NYC, Hot Docs, Bergen, Sydney, and BAFICI. They’re on streaming platforms globally.

  I also work with writers and directors in development and post-production as a story producer. I’ve been a reader and judge for screenwriting competitions, worked with ByKIDS, and given film-changing notes on dozens of films.

  I’m on IMDb here.

• Video + Branded: I've written and produced over 250 pieces of video content, including 50+ animations through my work at Nomadic Learning and the Josh Bersin Academy.

• Audio: I created the audio installation We Could Just Leave in collaboration with the Canary Project. I’m developing new podcast and immersive audio experiences

I consult with organizations of all sizes, teaching a human-centered approach to leadership that centers collaboration, dignity, and bringing out the best in everyone. Human-centered leaders who listen first and lead with empathy to create a culture where people feel heard and seen—and do their very best work. 

As a founding team member and Editor in Chief at Nomadic Learning, I have coached, taught, and mentored over 100,000 people in the practice of human-centered leadership. I’ve interviewed hundreds of Fortune 500 CEOs, CHROs, and CDOs, as well as academics, managers, and thought-leaders. I’ve designed and developed learning experiences in leadership, team building, management, DEI, and culture transformation, among many others.

As a leader myself, I’ve led teams, mentored, coached, and nurtured people in various disciplines. I’ve overseen several business transformations and built partnerships with products valued in the millions.

I’m now bridging my work as a producer and leadership consultant to bring leadership training, coaching, and mentoring to producers and other leaders across the film industry.
