I am the recipient of my school’s IB Business Management HL Excellence Award for being the top-performing Business student and currently serve as Head of the Business and Law Department in the Space Economy Society, which I co-founded as the Dubai branch of the original London-based society. The club explores the intersection of space with fields like law, business and sustainability, and has hosted notable guest speakers such as Helene Huby, CEO of The Exploration Company. I’ve also completed a Yale University online law course focused on legal reasoning and foundational concepts in the U.S. legal system. I am an aspiring Business and Law student with a strong interest in corporate law, governance, and innovation. I currently contribute to The Aziz Law Journal, where I write about topics at the intersection of law, economics, and global affairs, with a focus on issues such as corporate responsibility, climate policy, and emerging technologies.

I’m Anivarth Parthasarathy, a high school senior passionate about the intersection of law, politics, and business. As a member of the Connecticut Youth Leadership Forum, I work directly with State Senator Sujata Gadkar-Wilcox, assisting with legislative research on various legal topics impacting Connecticut. Under her guidance, I am leading a project focused on enhancing the state’s economic landscape through effective legislation. This experience has deepened my commitment to public service and sharpened my understanding of government from the inside out.

Alongside my legislative work, I serve as the President of the local Model Congress team, where I have led the team in various international conferences, including the UPenn and Princeton Model Congress Conferences. I am also an intern at a local law firm.

Looking ahead, I plan to study economics and political science in college before ultimately pursuing a J.D. in law school and becoming a lawyer.
