Since 2013, Stephanie Beatriz has charmed audiences as the feisty and witty, Detective Rosa Diaz, in the hit Golden Globe and Emmy Award-winning TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Stephanie is able to jump from comedy to drama with natural ease, as shown in her role as Jessica, starring alongside Brie Larson, in the critic's favorite and SXSW award-winning indie feature, Short Term 12. She has recently wrapped as one of the leads in Heather Graham’s directorial debut, Half Magic, and joined a star-studded cast, including Jennifer Lopez, Simon Pegg, Seann William Scott and Ray Romano, as the voice of Gretie in Ice Age: Collision Course. Her latest film, The Light of the Moon, in which she plays Bonnie, a young and successful Latina architect who is sexually assaulted while walking home, is now playing in select theaters through Imagination Worldwide and Film Collaborative.
