She attended Imperial College London where she studied zoology and earned a master's degree in Rural Land and Business Management and from the University of Reading.

Parliamentary career
In the 2024 UK general election, she narrowly unseated incumbent SNP member Richard Thomson. She became the first female Scottish Conservative MP since Kirstene Hair.
In the 2024 UK Conservative party leadership election she backed Tom Tugendhat.
In September 2024, following the proposal by Bank of Scotland to close its Ellon branch and the closure of all other bank branches in the area, Harriet Cross contacted Bank of Scotland expressing concern about the impact of a lack of banking services and requesting that they send a mobile branch to the area, criticising the proposal as a "disappointing display of attitude".
