She\u2019s been featured in multiple local magazines via photos and interviews but her love is people and serving the community, both as a waitress and a nurse.<br \/>\nBorn in Ketchum, Idaho, Garcia was raised in Buhl from age 3 to 18. She moved back to Hailey at around 19 to finish school. Garcia worked at a nursing home full time on the night shift, which was somewhat confining. She found herself hitting the hay when the town was waking up. We all know the streets in the Wood River Valley roll up around 8 p.m. and don\u2019t open until 6 or 7. Garcia laments, \u201cWorking at the nursing home, night shifts, I was sleeping days and working nights. So I didn\u2019t get much socializing. And for a very long time\u2014the whole winter, actually\u2014was sort of, well, very sad.\u201d<br \/>\nSad is as sad does, and so Joana changed her schedule.<br \/>\nAs she had experience in Twin Falls working at Olive Garden, she found part-time work at Wiseguy Pizza Pie in Hailey last February. She has since taken on the job full time.<br \/>\nGarcia is a trained dancer. A huge fan of all dance, including hip-hop, jazz and burlesque, she\u2019s been in a number of videos and photo shoots for dance and has the gift of gab with the energy to keep it moving.<br \/>\nGarcia is currently en route to become an aesthetician\u2019s nurse. \u201cI\u2019m going to school to get my RN. I just want to be a beauty nurse. So that\u2019s why I\u2019m going for my esthetician [certification] right now at Aveda.\u201d<br \/>\nEventually, Garcia will move back to Twin Falls to carry on her career but for the foreseeable future be sure to catch her light at Wiseguy Pizza\u2014engage, talk! She\u2019s funny, loquacious and completely at home in herself. A gym rat and absolute movement specialist, Garcia is a free spirit. \u201cI love to ski and I like to go hiking in my free time. I love dancing and I love the gym. The gym keeps me alive!\u201d<br \/>\nWiseguy is almost always busy with families, friends and those seeking a spot since Sun Valley Brewery closed, but the giant space has more than enough room, inside and out.<br \/>\nVisit Garcia on any day for pizza, a beer or, maybe, if you\u2019re arts inclined, to hire her for a music video!<\/p>\n<p>Wiseguy Pizza Pie:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"aXrjHJOR2E\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/wiseguypizzapie.com\/\">Home<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Home&#8221; &#8212; Wiseguy\" src=\"https:\/\/wiseguypizzapie.com\/embed\/#?secret=6xfLDDOuwi#?secret=aXrjHJOR2E\" data-secret=\"aXrjHJOR2E\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n411 N.
