Wren Barnes was born in San Jose, California. As a young child she moved to Farragut (Knoxville) Tennessee where she spent the rest of her childhood. When she was 7 years old she told her parents that she wanted a meeting with them in the living room and it was then she told her parents she really wanted to be an actress. After a few months went by and still no agent she told her parents she needed another meeting in the living room and she expressed she was really serious, she wanted to be an actress.

As a child she was an avid swimmer and practiced ballet. She signed with Talent Trek and booked notable childhood acting roles included being a younger version of Dolly Parton working with the celebrity herself in a commercial debuting a brand new part of the Dollywood theme park, acting in October Sky, and acting/dancing in 'The City Ballet' Nutcracker in front of thousands of people in sold out shows. She sang in choir and did mission tours traveling around the U.S. singing in major cities.

At 15 years old she was cast in the Professional Shakespeare Summer show series with with the Tennessee Stage Company, the youngest person ever hired to act in the series or for the company. She worked 50-70 hour weeks, 7 days a week, for 8 weeks during her high school 10th grade summer. Her role was not only acting in 3 Shakespeare plays but also touring one play to schools performing to elementary students, stage construction, hair, costuming, and make-up.

In high school she was active in local modeling and acting taking Advanced Acting classes with the majority of her electives. She was offered several scholarships at The Southeastern Theater Conference including at that same conference another actor that played Hamlet with her just months earlier won the award for Best Lead Actor in the Southeastern United States. In high school she was Class President, played sports, performed theater, and was active in her local church and community volunteering. She graduated High School, at that time the only school in that State of TN to receive a Blue Ribbon Excellence Award from The White House, with Honors and her GPA in the Top 5 percent of her class.

At 19 she won a modeling contest and was offered a major contract but turned it down to focus on going to college to pursue and complete a Business degree.

She graduated from The New York Conservatory with a Degree in Acting for Film and Television. She then went to University of Central Florida and graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration, Marketing Concentration.

She worked for several years in Healthcare Management primarily working with Prescription Medical Device for Respiratory Illness and Rehabilitation for serious life threatening illnesses and injuries. After she experienced a life altering accident, she felt grateful to be alive and felt she must return to pursuing her dream of working fully in Film.

She worked on several projects in Knoxville and then in the Fall of 2014 moved to Utah and continued to work in Acting and Film Business in which she resides today.
