"Make serious national security analysis accessible to everyone — not just insiders."

The Rudd Report was built on a simple premise: the most consequential decisions in the world — about war, intelligence, technology, and power — are made with information most people never see. That needs to change.

In an era of information overload, The Rudd Report cuts through noise to deliver intelligence-informed analysis on the issues that actually shape the global order. No spin. No partisanship. Just rigorous, evidence-based perspective from someone who has worked inside the systems being analyzed.

Currently pursuing dual degrees in International Relations and Economics with a minor in Intelligence Studies at the University of South Florida's Judy Genshaft Honors College — and building a career at the intersection of intelligence analysis, federal law enforcement, and national security research.
