Aurelia Harrison (they/them) is a senior at GHS and a life-long beneficiary of GEF-funded programs. Writing is their passion, from poetry to journalism. They are the Editor in Chief of The Gillnetter, and are published in several youth-led literary magazines. On weekends, they work at The Bookstore of Gloucester and take long, meandering walks in the woods. They will be studying English at Vassar College next fall.

Favorite GEF-funded program: The Elicitor, GHS’s literary magazine. The fact that this school has a place for creatives to submit and publish their work in print is such a powerful thing in this digital age. The Elicitor was the first publication I was published in, and it's very near and dear to my heart.
