She has earned all-class, all-tournament and all-county honors and is a two-time all-state selection. She also plays for the Club Ace Long Island travel team.

She is a hard worker in the classroom as well. Wren has a 95.12 unweighted average, with an SAT score of 2040 and an ACT mark of 31. She is a member of the National Honor Society and treasurer of the National Art Honor Society. She also participates in Athletes Creating Excellence and the Owl Buddies Club.

In addition to her school activities, Wren volunteers at St. Francis Hospital and Winthrop University Hospital, assisting nurses in the general ward and neonatal unit. Wren has committed to play volleyball at Molloy College next year, and plans to major in nursing.
