Reny Bake

Reny Bake was born and raised in Guatemala. The daughter of a Dutch-Indo father and a Guatemalan mother, she split her time as a child between Guatemala, Miami, and the Netherlands.

Her academic background includes degrees in business administration, economics, international trade, and national security issues, with a particular focus on the United States. She uses her multifaceted background to analyze and explain global issues on her radio program in Guatemala. Most recently, she became a professor of theology for Guatemalan high school students.

Her interest in theology was sparked by her father's stories about their family's European origins, recently journeying to Philadelphia to explore a family connection to a Protestant reverend mentioned in American Revolution archives. This pivotal moment inspired her to delve deeper into her family's history and Christian values. Reny continues her quest to know her family's story in the Netherlands and beyond as she begins to learn Latin and Greek to better understand her notable scholarly ancestors .

Outside of her professional pursuits, she enjoys spending time with her three cats, tending to plants, reading, and taking cooking classes. Her dedication to education, research, and family heritage is a driving force in her life.
