Harrison is interested in climate law and policy and is passionate about working to create just climate outcomes. He completed a Bachelor of Arts (International Relations) and Bachelor of Laws (Honours) at Monash University, winning University Medal for his law studies.

This built on earlier study of environmental law while on exchange at the University of Leeds, and volunteer experience at Environmental Justice Australia.

He is currently an environment and planning solicitor. Outside of work, he enjoys swimming, hiking, and reading queer literature.
