Wren most recently served as an assistant at Bradley During the 2023-24 season. In her lone season with the Braves, Wren coached 17 all-conference runners, seven Missouri Valley Conference champions, and three athletes to NCAA Preliminary Rounds. Wren also guided runners to school records in the men's indoor mile, 800-meter, 5000-meter, and outdoor 1500-meter, as well as the women's indoor mile and outdoor 800m.

From 2020-22, Wren worked as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Adams State while earning her master's degree in applied sport psychology. She led the women's cross country squad to a national championship, and the men to a second-place finish in 2021. In her two seasons with the Grizzlies, Wren coached 58 NCAA All-Americans, five individual NCAA champions, helped shatter five school and two NCAA DII records, and also helped Eilish Flanagan qualify for the Tokyo Olympics in 2021.
Wren used her additional season of eligibility at Adams State to earn All-American honors in the 1500-meter at the 2021 NCAA DII Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Her previous years of competition were spent at Kansas State between 2015-20. As a Wildcat, Wren was a member of the 2018 Big-12 Championship team, team captain from 2019-20, and served on the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
