Born in Windhoek, Bernadina works for a construction company. She says her favourite place in Namibia is Rehoboth, because "it's a nice party place". The best things about her country are the people, the wildlife and all the tourist attractions.
Her parents are her role models because "they have done so much for me and have made me who and what I am today". The best advice she has ever been given came from her mom: "Be who you are, making wise decisions and following your heart, never changing who you are".
Bernadina entered Big Brother Amplified for the adventure and challenge it holds – "plus the fame and the money up for grabs," she adds.
Her favourite former Big Brother Africa contestant is Tatiana because of her bubbly personality.
Bernadina says that if she wins the game, she'll give a share of her money to a lady she knows who is establishing an organisation that helps children improve their reading skills.
If she could change one thing in the word, Bernadina would love to "give all the starving people something to eat and put a roof over their heads".
When she needs to relax, she enjoys bubble baths and watching television. If she could go anywhere in the world, she'd love to visit Rio de Janeiro because "it's the party place of the world."
Bernadina is passionate about women's rights saying "I believe in women being treated fairly."
