Can you briefly describe yourself? Who is Res. Asst. Şerif Yüksel with 2-3 sentences?

I was born in Edirne's Keşan district in February 1992. My name comes from the eldest person of our family who migrated from Thessaloniki-Greece to Enez town in 1889. Apart from that, I have been the longest living Şerif. Unfortunately, all other Şerif passed away at a very young age. I lived in Keşan until I moved to Marmara University. It was the first time I came to Istanbul when I came to enroll at the Göztepe campus. I have been living in Istanbul for 11 years. I completed my undergraduate, graduate and doctorate education at Marmara University. Since January 2017, I have been working as a research assistant at Istanbul Kültür University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Department of International Trade and Finance. Of course, according to my grandmother, I work as a medical doctor.

How has your participation in the Kültür Family developed?

When I applied to the Research Assistant staff of IKU Department of International Trade in September 2016, I was at the dissertation stage of the International Trade and Money Management master's program. Meanwhile, I was working in the Grand Bazaar. When it was announced that I had been recruited after 3 months of waiting, I took off my shopkeeper shirt and put on the academy shirt one day later. The first job I was given was to take Chinese lessons as a supervisor in the final semester. It has been 4 years since my very exciting first assignment, and my first test comes to mind when I stepped into the world of academia with every new mission, new project. I guess I can say that my moment of feeling myself belonging to the Kültür family is the first New Year's Eve meeting we celebrate as a university. This warm meeting with all units of our university is unforgettable for me.
