Hello!steemCreated with Sketch.

There's often a block I think we all encounter when someone asks us who we are, or if we're to introduce ourselves to a gambit of strangers.

How do I even start? Typically, with my name?
I'm Shruti Suresh.

Does that give away anything? I think not.

Are we then, defined by our education?
I did my undergrad in Psychology, Literature and Communication studies, (And specialised in the latter) in Mount Carmel College, Bangalore.
Which should mean I'm good at this communication thing, right?

Well, communication studies ranged from understanding and appreciating Indian art (as much of it as you can fit in a semester, from being a classical dance critique to understanding the 32 folk dances of India, the folk/ classical/ semi-classical music and fine art) to understanding quantum physics enough to write about it.

So what am I doing right now?
I'm training to become a conservation scientist.

I jumped into working for wildlife post-college (not with. for) I did some unartistic media and marketing communication work for a local NGO and WWF-Cambodia before heading for an MSc in Conservation and Biodiversity.

Am I then, what I want to work as?
I genuinely don't know. I'm a big believer in learning on the job, and the kitchen and the dancefloor. Pretty much everywhere.

I know I want to spend my life devoted to conserving animals.
I'm still heavily immersed in the arts while being perpetually drawn outwards to the natural world.
Will these interests split apart? Will they merge into one another?

Let's find out.
