In spring 2007 Carena graduated with a B.A. from the School of Interdisciplinary Studies, University College, at Arizona State University (http://universitycollege.asu.edu/). Her concentration areas were conservation biology and outdoor recreation management. The interdisciplinary studies program at Arizona State allows students to construct a unique curriculum and bridge together two fields of study. Carena elected to complete an interdisciplinary degree to better understand how to integrate the biological and social sciences to inform park and protected management.
