Meet Brandon

Even before he came to Loyola University in New Orleans, Brandon Vincent knew he wanted to go into public health. And with the right skillset and major, he knew he could become an agent of change.

Thanks to his determination — and help from his coaches at Loyola, specially trained in InsideTrack's coaching methodology — he got involved on campus, graduated with his degree and now works in the Baton Rouge mayor’s office, doing just that.
