World’s Under-30 Achievers Summit highlights ambitious young professionals from 15 different fields who show promise in their vocations. The participants list also includes the formerly unknown founders of renowned companies, along with a number of well-known actors, musicians, and business heavyweights. Pacific Hill graduate student Lisa Bedford was honored by the committee as ‘The Riser’ among the 1,000 vocational open house contestants. Bedford, 26, of Kentucky, currently studies at Pacific Hill’s School of Social Services and also works at the global chain of MediLife Clinics. Earlier, she has completed her Bachelors in Psychology in 2016 at age 25. “I am very pleased and honored to represent my companies, Pacific Hill University, and MediLife Clinics,” she said. Ms. Bedford is responsible to manage stewardship reports and other recognition activities for benefactors whose donations exceed $1 million at the Medilife Clinics. Bedford has also worked with MissionFirst, Red Cross and LMKT Group. At MissionFirst, which fights to end child sex trafficking, Ms. Bedford helped create and market an iPhone app to help users monitor their mood patterns. She is on pace to complete her Social Services Degree in December. She also maintains her passion to help individuals as a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor in Minneapolis. “My experience at University of Pacific Hill has been instrumental in driving my career at Medilife Clinics and the other companies I work for,” Bedford said. “My professors at the university have pushed me out of my comfort zone with assignments and have gotten me well-accustomed to asking questions, learning to research, and learning how to think critically.” “The committee of World’s Under-30 Achievers hopes that by gathering these top minds into one room this fall, they will have a chance to change the world”, said their spokesperson, Iven Berthelette. “With the top young entrepreneurs, doers and game changers in every major field coming together to figure out how to advance their companies, causes — and themselves — further and faster, that’s not as lofty as it sounds.” Bedford believes the gathering will also have eternal significance. Once she completes her graduate degree, Bedford hopes to expand her reach into the areas of technology and public policy, continuing her work with the Medilife Clinics. She also hopes to further pursue project management to help fight against human trafficking through her involvement with MissionFirst. “I have always felt confident in my education. Education at the University of Pacific Hill has equipped me with a strong academic background and the urge to be a lifelong learner,” Bedford said.
