Early life[]
Stephanie Beatriz Bischoff Alvizuri was born in Neuquén, Argentina, the daughter of a Colombian father and a Bolivian mother.[2] She arrived in the United States at the age of three with her parents and a younger sister. She grew up in Webster, Texas, outside Houston, and attended Clear Brook High School.[3][4] She became interested in acting after taking speech and debate as an elective, which allowed her to appear in plays.[5]
Beatriz attended the all-women's Stephens College in Missouri. She graduated in 2002. She then moved to New York City to pursue acting.[4] She has lived in Los Angeles since 2010.
Career[]
Beatriz had minor roles in the police procedural television series The Closer and Southland, as well as a recurring role as Gloria's sister Sonia in the ABC comedy series Modern Family. She has had numerous stage appearances at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Theatreworks USA, The Old Globe Theatre, and Yale Repertory Theatre.[citation needed] Beatriz had her first feature film role as Jessica in the 2013 acclaimed[citation needed] independent drama Short Term 12.
In 2013, she began portraying Detective Rosa Diaz in the Fox and NBC series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, an action comedy series based around the members of a Brooklyn police precinct. In 2019, she directed the season 6 episode "He Said, She Said." The show ran for eight seasons.
Beatriz starred as Bonnie in the independent feature film The Light of the Moon, written and directed by Jessica M. Thompson. The film premiered at the 2017 South by Southwest Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Narrative Feature Competition.[6] She received highly positive reviews for her performance, with The Hollywood Reporter stating that "Beatriz offers a powerful ... unflinching, authentic performance," while Variety noted that the film was "harrowingly effective" and Beatriz's performance was "expertly balanced and judged."[7] From 2018 to 2019, she voiced the character Gina Cazador on BoJack Horseman.
It was announced in 2019 she would be appearing in the 2021 film adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award-winning musical In the Heights.[8] Beatriz will also voice Mirabel Madrigal, the main character in the upcoming Disney animated film Encanto.

Personal life[]
Beatriz has severe astigmatism and requires glasses to see.[10] She does not wear them in many of her roles, and therefore has difficulty hitting her marks while on camera.[11][12]
Beatriz has described herself as suffering from disordered eating,[13] which she developed during college.[5]
Sexuality and marriage[]
Beatriz first realized that she was bisexual around age 12 or 13.[5] She experienced biphobia and bisexual erasure from family and friends.[14] In June 2016, Beatriz publicly came out.[15][16]
