He played a key role in organizing programs that promoted innovation, entrepreneurship, and community engagement within the student body.
Despite the demands of his academic and leadership roles, Bernard runs a startup on campus called B&B Enterprise, a business that negotiates with wholesale companies to provide appliances and gadgets to students at discounted prices. Through this venture, students benefit from having these items delivered directly to their rooms, saving time and avoiding high retail prices. This initiative has significantly reduced the burden on students when acquiring essential items on campus. He also works with eDok, a local health-tech company that provides telemedicine services. Through the eDok app, users can consult medical doctors at any time, from anywhere. This digital platform aims to make health care more accessible and convenient, aligning with his passion for innovative solutions that improve lives.
