You cannot describe Elif with just one word. She grew up along the Turkish coast and became immensely popular as a radio DJ at secondary school. After completing her studies, she set to work as a technician. She met her husband, who would later become the father of her children, at one of her jobs. They now live together in Belgium, where Elif works at the Lovenfosse site as an operator. When not at work, you will probably find her in her large vegetable garden. She likes spending time in the kitchen turning the vegetables she has grown into the typical Turkish dishes that she is proud to present to you.
