Irina (she/her) is a Russian translator, editor, proofreader, AI editor, and prompt engineer based in Serbia.
In 2018, she underwent a total glossectomy due to cancer. The surgery permanently changed how she speaks and eats, and everyday communication, especially with strangers or across languages, often requires deliberate simplicity and precision. Visible scars from lymph node removal and nerve grafting, along with facial asymmetry and chronic swelling, are part of her lived reality.
Irina advocates for visible, honest representation of non-perfect bodies in media and aims to support fellow oral cancer survivors by openly embracing the changes in her appearance.
Her interests include evidence-based medicine, dog behavior, nonviolent communication, death studies, pet sitting, and DJing.
