Anna Cummings

Senior Manager

I'm passionate about connecting people with jobs they love—and helping organizations thrive by placing the right talent in the right roles. With deep experience in both healthcare and life sciences staffing, I bring strategic insight, authenticity, and a people-first mindset to every partnership.

Outside of work, you’ll find me in the garden, curled up with a sci-fi novel, or cheering on my beloved UNC Tar Heels. Whether I'm mentoring a team or matching top-tier talent with meaningful opportunities, my "why" is always rooted in people and purpose.
