At the age of 11, Rudd went to Capitol Hill[5][6][7] with JDRF's Children's Congress to advocate for type 1 diabetes research and legislation in Congress.

In 2022, Rudd gave a TEDx Talk "Diabetes Isn't a Death Sentence, If You Can Afford It," which captivated audiences and shed light on the critical issue of insulin affordability.[15][16]
Rudd moved to Washington, D.C. in 2022 to begin her Masters at Georgetown University and to work for the White House in the Executive Office of The President, as an intern for the Policy Office of Vice President Kamala Harris.
