Stephanie Beatriz Bischoff Alvizurik (born February 10, 1981 in Neuquén, Argentina), credited as Stephanie Beatriz, is an Argentine-American actress.
She and her family migrated from Argentina to the United States when Beatriz was three, and she went on to pursue acting. Her first major roles were in Modern Family and Short Term 12, and she is best known for playing Rosa Diaz in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and providing the voice of Mirabel Madrigal in Encanto.
Beatriz is openly bisexual, coming out publicly in June 2016. Her orientation significantly shaped the storyline of her Brooklyn Nine-Nine character, who herself would come out as bi around a year and a half later during the show's fifth season. As part of this process, she shared her experiences with the show's writers in order to create a positive but authentic portrayal of bisexuality.
In October 2018, she married actor Brad Hoss; their first daughter was born in August 2021. She wrote an op-ed
for GQ several months before the marriage about why getting married to a heterosexual man should not be seen as making her any less bisexual.

Stephanie Beatriz's works provide examples of:——
- Singing Voice Dissonance: Beatriz is known for playing characters with deep, raspy speaking voices, but she sings with a pleasant and smooth mezzo-soprano vocal range, even in the same roles. This is especially the case with Vaggie from Hazbin Hotel, who Beatriz uses a deep voice for during speaking moments but suddenly transforms into a high-pitched and fittingly angelic voice during musical numbers.
