She earned honorable mention All-MAC honors as a sophomore in 2016 after averaging 4.91 digs/set and played in all 30 matches.

During her time at Toledo, Leonard also worked with the Toledo Volleyball Club as a coach and instructor. She graduated from the University of Toledo in August 2019 with a bachelor's degree in nursing.
