Johns Hopkins University alumna Rhydian Shelley traces her fascination with maps back to a childhood bookshelf. In her family’s home in the Litchfield Hills of Connecticut, she would pull down atlases and pore over coastlines, borders, topography, and terrain.

Her name – pronounced like “meridian,” the lines of longitude that she crossed while serving in the U.S. Navy – feels fitting. Early on, Shelley learned to see geography not just as a place, but as a story.

Today, she brings that perspective into her work, blending skills developed through our MS in Geographic Information Systems program with environmental stewardship and national security – connecting land, people, and purpose.
