Born in Chicago, Jenny Guzon-Bae was raised in the western
suburb of Melrose Park, Illinois. A natural tomboy,
Guzon-Bae was often found playing football, softball,
basketball, climbing trees or racing bikes with the boys
in her neighborhood. Despite her parents' efforts to make
her more lady-like by enrolling her in ballet and
gymnastics (13 years of training), Jenny preferred beating
out the boys. It wasn't until high school that Jenny
finally embraced her feminine side, but she was still the
fierce competitor on the inside.
A skilled writer, Guzon-Bae began honing her skills at age
15 when she was hired as a columnist for VIA Times, the
largest minority newspaper in the Chicago area. She
eventually graduated college with a Bachelor of Arts
Degree in journalism from Columbia College in Chicago. She
parlayed her writing skills into the spoken word when she
became a television reporter for Chicago's only
Filipino-American news program, "Philippine News
Reports." Having retired from reporting a few years
ago, Guzon-Bae continues to serve her community by
emceeing various social events. She is currently a real
estate agent.
Guzon-Bae heads up a volleyball league in her spare time.
She also enjoys shopping, yoga, pilates, traveling and
playing the board game Scrabble. She recently took up
fencing, tennis and belly dancing. She enjoys watching
boxing, basketball and football.
Guzon-Bae is a member of the North Shore Barrington
Association of Realtors.
Guzon-Bae currently resides in Lake Forest, Illinois with
her husband, Don, and their son, Casey. They have three
dogs: Cola (an Australian Shepherd), Peanut (a Pembroke
Corgi) and Sam (an American Eskimo). Her birth date is May
8, 1970.
