In the 2011–2012 season, Partanen began competing with Canada's Sara Aghai for Finland. They placed in the top ten at both of their ISU Junior Grand Prix assignments and went on to win the Finnish national junior title. At the 2012 World Junior Championships in Minsk, they qualified for the final segment by placing 8th in the preliminary round and 12th in the short dance. They finished 16th overall after placing 17th in the free dance.
In the 2012–2013 season, Aghai/Partanen repeated as the Finnish junior champions. Ranked 24th in the short dance, they did not qualify for the final segment at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan. They parted ways at the end of the season.

Their first international medal, gold, came at the International Cup of Nice in October. In November, they were awarded bronze medals at the 2015 CS Tallinn Trophy and 2015 CS Warsaw Cup. The following month, the two became the Finnish national champions, ahead of Karmi/Lindholm.
Törn/Partanen went on to qualify to the final segment at both of their ISU Championship assignments. Ranked 18th in the short and 14th in the free, they finished 15th overall at the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia.
