    My name is Mildred kumbanga, and I’m currently working as a healthcare assistant in Ireland with a QQI Level 5 qualification in healthcare. I’ve recently started a Level 7 course in Management and Leadership through Springboard, which reflects my goal to transition into project management, especially in areas where leadership, coordination, and structured processes are critical. In my current role, I’ve developed strong skills in team collaboration, time-sensitive decision-making, and multitasking—particularly in high-pressure healthcare environments. I’ve been increasingly involved in tasks like patient scheduling, shift coordination, and supporting quality improvement processes.

I’m especially curious about how your background is shaping your views on process improvement – there’s so much we can learn from you. Can’t wait to hear more about your studies and how you’re applying those tools in real-world settings.
