Rielsa Marsef is a former Constitutional Lawyer and Law Professor currently serving as the Prime Minister of Aziallis in the 40th Term of the Azillian Lower House. She has been serving as the Prime Minister since 2005 and is not just the longest serving Prime Minister in Aziallis but also one of the longest serving elected leaders in Anteria.
Early Life
Rielsa Marsef was born on the island of Undyure in Gayambee in April 1957 to refugee parents Arotswa Marsef and Ruje Marsef. Just two months after she was born, her parents moved to the small town of Shevaksa in Hivevka where her father got assigned work as a store guard by the National Azillian Refugee Settlement Authority after getting refugee status, under rules established by the Bizwo Svave government. In 1959, the two year old Rielsa Marsef was granted Azillian citizenship as per the refugee regulations that requireed refugee children born in Azillian territories to have stayed in the mainland for 18 months before getting Azillian citizenship.
In June of 1961, when Rielsa was 4 years old, her mother got scholarship to study at the Orhena Port College, and she moved to Orhena with young Rielsa, while her father stayed in Shevaksa. In Orhena, Rielsa got admitted into the Gillerna Elementary School. In 1963, at the age of 6, Rielsa was promoted to the fourth grade because she was reading and doing math at a level far above her peers in first grade. After completing two years in fourth and fifth grade at Gillerna, where she topped her classes in both years, the then Principal of the School, Ahorde lu'eryani, got Rielsa a special scholarship from the Government of Hivevka to study in Srega at the Srega School for the Gifted. Even though her mother was against Rielsa moving to a big city like Srega, eventually she allowed her to move.
In 1966, Rielsa moved to Srega to attend the School for the Gifted and spent her next three years there. In 1967, Ruje Marsef found herself a job in Srega, allowing her to come and live with Rielsa.
At the age of 12, Rielsa came out as a lesbian, first to her teachers and then to her mother. Marsef talks about how her mother, being an arreligious individual readily accepted her and supported her through her journey.
Higher Education
Bachelor's
After her internship at AIMC and publishing two papers, Marsef graduated from SSG and was allowed to apply for aa college degree. Since a lot of Azillian universities did not have programmes that catered to or allowed students who graduated early to participate, she had very few options. But having loved her work at AIMC, Marsef was sure she wanted to go to University of Triminoska. After a successful application, Marsef got into UoT's Bachelor of Sciences course, a four year course which allowed her to choose from a variety of subjects. Initially, Marsef wanted to major in Mathematics and Chemistry, and follow further in her work on modelling small molecules within complex systems. But Marsef says that taking the initial mandatory Literature courses made her more interested in the Arts which lead her to Prof. Ayune Svogtseva, the Dean of the Inistite for Political Science and History at UoT, under whom Marsef took several courses in Political Science and History. She ended up majoring in Mathematics and Political Science, though she also managed to minor in Chemistry and Biology. Since her course did not have any restrictions on the number of credits she could earn in a semester, Marsef finished college within three yearshaving earned a total of 196 credits. She was also able to write a thesis in her Bachelor's course.
Master's
After completing her BS course, Marsef got into Triminoska Inistitute of Social Sciences for her Master's Degree in Political Science, though she was able to also study subjects like Economics and Statistics, in which she now has expertise. During her Master's, Marsef started working with Prof. Utteya Serlaroka at TISS for her thesis. They worked on collecting data from different samples of urban and rural individuals, looking at the effects of different identity parameters on opportunity and income. Along with her Professor, Marsef was able to publish two paper, one of which was cited by several Parliamentary Committees and High Level Committees set up by then Prime Ministers Charitra Sukerni and Eressa Nuveyana. After graduating from TISS, Marsef rejected an offer to work with the Triminoskan Ministry for Labour and enrolled for another programme in Law.
Law School
During her work with Serlaroka, Marsef became very interested in law and how law affects social outcomes for different communities and decided to study law. Because of her recommendation from Serlaroka, she got accepted into Triminoskan Institute for Legal Studies where she worked with Prof. Kamiyashi Arikuya who worked on similar questions as what she wanted to study. Though the course of her law degree, she published six review articles and three research papers along with Prof. Arikuya, getting to work closely with several ethnic minority groups in Aziallis and refugees in Gayambee.
Career
Samhenshe
After graduating from Law School, Marsef wasn't sure if she wanted to continue in Academia or practice law. After receiving an offer from Samhenshe Foundation to work in Hivevka, she decided to put that thought on hold. At Samhenshe, Marsef got to work first hand with former Chief Justice of Aziallis Marie Suvese. She represented several small tribes and communities against large corporations or government infrastructure projects. She even got to work on larger projects in Varega. Marsef often talks about how Suvese convinced her that she should work more with vulnerable groups and how Suvese is the reason she got a doctorate.
Doctorate
After having worked for Samhenshe Foundation for three years, Marsef joined the PhD Programmme at University of Hivevka. Because of her shining letters of recommendation, she was able to work with the Professor of her choice, ending up chosing Prof. Reiyu Kuleya with whom she worked on affects of legal doctrines, precedents and judgements on smaller and vulnerable communities. She spent most of her time in Orhena and smaller towns around it, occasionally travelling to cities in Mengasa as well to collect data.
