Wren is from a small town in southeastern Idaho and has lived in Portland for a few years. She received her bachelor’s of arts in English from Carleton College. After graduating, she did two AmeriCorps terms: six months with the Nevada Conservation Corps and three years with the AmeriCorps St. Louis Emergency Response Team. Doing national service was an impactful way to spend the first few years of her professional life, and she understands the personal challenges and rewards, and the difference it makes for the community.
Wren loves exploring the Pacific Northwest by hiking, camping and running; and taking it slow with knitting and gardening.
