Gaby Covarrubias Case Study

Gaby Covarrubias, daughter of Marita and Derek Covarrubias, is a rising senior at Bishop Lynch High School. Despite being born in California, Gaby has truly become a naturalized Texan (and Lakewoodian at that). She’s lived in Dallas for the majority of her life, and wouldn’t have had it any other way.

Since Gaby’s a senior, she won’t be attending college in the fall, but is currently looking at schools such as the University of Texas, Northwestern University, and the University of Michigan.
