BIOGRAPHY

Born in Soviet Ukraine to Polish and Kazakhstani parents, Irra lived across Europe and settled in the UK to complete her schooling. She went on to score 7.5 A Levels and a 1st class degree from Oxford University.

She was headhunted straight out of College by the founder of 85Broads, Janet Hanson, and helped to bring the professional initiative for young women over to Europe. Working between NYC and London, Irra established 85Broads chapters
at elite Universities and Business schools, which now form a network of over 2000 members in the UK alone.

For over a year, Irra lived around South East Asia after being scouted. She worked in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur and New Zealand. Notable credits included Tourism Malaysia (Short Film), Panasonic (Print), Hong Kong Rugby Sevens (TV and Print).

She is currently based in London and New York. Irra started her Writing and Publishing Company from a moral aim to fill the gaps in contemporary education, with working titles to address Social Dynamics, Memory Improvement and Early Development – and enable each individual regardless of background to achieve through merit and to realise their vision.

Irra also has a vivid passion for Art, particularly charcoal drawings and oil paintings. She expects to showcase and sell her own work within the next year as part of her New Europe Art Fund, with the aim to preserve what little remains of the treasures in post-Soviet countries which are close to her heart.

Not one to do things by half, Irra founded the Work Hard Play Hard awards which began in New York City to celebrate those fabulous beings who don’t just burn the candle at both ends- they blowtorch it in style! You are likely to see this girl in the gym at 7am, boardroom at midday and a soiree/fashion show well after midnight, dancing away with a big smile.
