Meet our admissions counselors down below.

Jacob Harris, B.S.

Director of Admissions

Where are you from, and how long have you lived in the Upstate?

I am a native son of Boiling Springs, SC!

What first drew you to Sherman College of Chiropractic?

I had been working as an Admissions Counselor at another university and was ready for a change. I have driven past this school countless times in my life, they had a position open in the Admissions Office, and the rest is history!

How long have you been an admissions counselor at Sherman College?

I have been employed with Sherman College since July 2018

What about chiropractic do you find most interesting?

I’ve enjoyed learning how adjustments affect different areas of the body and learning about the innate intelligence the body has to heal itself.

What is your favorite part of your job?

Easy, our STUDENTS! I also love the warmth, hospitality, camaraderie, and collaboration that exists on campus.

What is one piece of advice you would give to prospective students?

Do your research. Be sure to visit different schools. Find a place where you can grow and become the best version of yourself. This is an investment in time and money. Not all chiropractic schools are the same!

What is something interesting about you?

I am a database for useless knowledge: songs, movies, sports, pop culture, you name it!

What is your favorite local restaurant?

Miyako Sushi Group. Who doesn’t love sushi?

What is your favorite thing to do on the weekends?

Relaxing by a body of water, listening to music, or watching sports on the couch.

Will Tucker, B.B.A.

Senior Admissions Counselor

Where are you from, and how long have you lived in the Upstate?

I am from Demopolis, AL, and I have been living in the Upstate for 4 and a half years.

What first drew you to Sherman College of Chiropractic?

At first, it was the community feel that I got from everyone on campus. It really seemed like everyone constantly rallied around one another to help reach a common goal. Also, I went to a small undergraduate college so the small feel of Sherman really felt like home to me.

How long have you been an admissions counselor at Sherman College?

I have been with Sherman for just over 4 years.

What about chiropractic do you find most interesting?

I thought it was interesting that chiropractic care can directly affect multiple aspects of your body, and not just the neck and back area like I had previously thought. I really love the idea that the body is a self-healing mechanism and has the idea to express health at a higher capacity when free of vertebral subluxation!

What is your favorite part of your job?

Getting to travel to a lot of college campuses all over the country is a really cool thing. I also love that I get to see students mature and grow as they go throughout the program. I especially love when I help mentor a student before their enrollment at Sherman and then I get to see them really blossom while on campus!

What is one piece of advice you would give to prospective students?

Learn how to manage your time effectively, and practice new study habits. Most students have not endured the type of schooling that is presented at Sherman, and being in class for seven hours a day and then having to study for different quizzes and tests on top of that can be very taxing. So learning how to study effectively and how to manage your time will be critical to your success as a student at Sherman. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help. This program is hard enough on your own so take advantage of the resources that we provide on campus to help you be successful in the program!

What is something interesting about you?

I am a huge sports guy and I love to be outside. Depending on the year, you can find my wife and I kayaking, hiking, walking our dogs, etc.

What is your favorite local restaurant?

Too many good ones to choose just one. Main Street Pub, Delaney’s Irish Pub, and Miyako’s Sushi all come to mind.

What is your favorite thing to do on the weekends?

When it’s football season, I’m locked in on the Crimson Tide. Other than that, I’m either playing golf or pickleball! Once Sunday rolls around, I got my eyes on whatever PGA Tour tournament is going on to wrap up the weekend.

Samantha Cappatt, B.A.

Admissions Counselor

Where are you from, and how long have you lived in the Upstate?

I’m from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and moved here a little over 3 years ago.

What first drew you to Sherman College of Chiropractic?

When I was in school, I worked at an animal hospital nearby and first heard of Sherman College from a student who came in. They just graduated and couldn’t stop talking about their love for Sherman College and chiropractic. Right before I graduated, I noticed an open position at Sherman, the exact position I was looking for. I knew immediately this was where I was meant to be.

How long have you been an admissions counselor at Sherman College?

Almost 1 year!

What about chiropractic do you find most interesting?

The holistic approach to wellness that most people, including myself, aren’t introduced to growing up.

What is your favorite part of your job?

The best part of my job is getting to know students as they transition from curious prospects to proud Shermies! It’s equally gratifying to witness their growth as they immerse themselves in the Sherman community and thrive almost instantly.

What is one piece of advice you would give to prospective students?

Explore the field of chiropractic early on through shadowing opportunities. Not only will the experience provide you with insight into the daily routine of a chiropractor, but it can also spark interest in a specific area within chiropractic that resonates with you. Sherman College provides resources to help you connect with these opportunities – all you have to do is ask!

What is something interesting about you?

I’m a big movie enthusiast! My two favorite directors are Hayao Miyazaki and Stanley Kubrick.

What is your favorite local restaurant?

Konnichiwa (the downtown Spartanburg location). Best sushi spot in the area!

What is your favorite thing to do on the weekends?

The best plans are no plans. A perfect weekend is spending time with my people, enjoying anything outdoors, exploring new places, and going with the flow.
