Celebrating Iredell Crosby Scholar’s 10th Anniversary
For the Ingrams, it’s a family affair!
Isabelle Ingram, a Crosby Scholar alumni and 2022 graduate of Lake Norman High School, was recently featured on social media by UNC Wilmington’s Center for Marine Science. She’s pursuing her master’s degree and working as part of the college’s DrugDiscovery Group.
This work includes using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) to conduct a range of chemical science research, clarifying natural and synthetic compounds to discover possible advances in cancer therapy.
Isabelle has the distinction of being the only student to work in the DrugDiscovery Group during her time as an undergraduate, and she’s happy to continue her work as a graduate student.
Isabelle joined Iredell County Crosby Scholars in the program’s first year, 2015. She stuck with it, and was part of the first graduating class to have been in the program since 6th grade.
But this isn’t just about Isabelle.
She’s one of three Ingram siblings who have all been Crosby Scholars!
Isabelle’s older brother, Casey, graduated in 2018. He attended Western Carolina University, studied computer programming, and now works for a contractor with Amazon.
Isabell’s younger brother, Nathanial, is a now a sophomore at Langtree High. He takes courses at Mitchell Community College and is on the soccer, cross-country and track teams, all while maintaining a 4.3 GPA.
In our tenth year, Crosby Scholars of Iredell County has come a long way. And the Ingram siblings are certainly a part of that great legacy.
