Service starts with connection.
Hi everyone! My name is Emmarie Leonard-Collins, but you can call me Em. I am from Chicago, Illinois, and I am a Public Health major with a minor in Entrepreneurship at Thee Xavier University of Louisiana. I am excited to live out the mission and values of REACH by helping, supporting, and empowering those around me. I believe in creating positive change through service, compassion, and leadership. Most importantly, I am unapologetically ME, authentic, passionate, and committed to making a difference wherever I go.
“REACH matters to me because its mission and values align with my passion for serving others. Having the opportunity to make a positive impact in someone's life is incredibly meaningful to me. Supporting fellow students while also receiving support from REACH creates a full circle of love, encouragement, and action. To me, REACH is more than just a program it is a team, a family, and a community built on faith, trust, and love. I am grateful to be part of an organization that inspires growth, promotes service, and reminds us that together we can make a lasting difference.”
