Her supervisors were Caroline Saunders and Paul Dalziel.[2] Wreford did postdoctoral research in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, including at the University of East Anglia's Tyndall Centre and Scotland's Rural College.[3][4] Returning to New Zealand, Wreford was a senior economist at Scion, before joining the faculty at Lincoln University, rising to full professor in 2022.[3]
