Prior to OATS, Badmus spent almost two decades with Hearts and Homes for Youth, a nonprofit to empower youth who have experienced abuse, neglect, and other trauma. As assistant program director, she oversaw adolescent programs, including after school programs, the shelter, therapeutic and high-intensity group homes, and the semi-independent living program. Badmus led efforts to ensure youth were reunified with their families and that trauma-informed care and awareness became standard practice in treating all clients.
