Hi there! My name is Bea Mienik! I’m an NYC-based performer, musician, and writer, originally from Tampa, FL. Stories have always mattered to me - especially the stories of generally underrepresented groups. This led me to New York University’s Vocal Performance program at Steinhardt, with a concentration in Music Theatre, where I’m slated to graduate in 2025. Before I was a performer, I was a writer. I’ve worked in all writing styles, including creative, promotional (BroadwayWorld.com), and personal essays/ opinion pieces (Scholastic Book Company National Award Winner), disability inclusion, as well as being rejected from NYT’s Modern Love a whopping seven times (one day I’ll impress you, Daniel Jones). I continue to do freelance writing work, and intend to pursue Dramatic Writing at the graduate level. One of my other passions is disability advocacy and inclusion, and that's why I created Bea Talks T1D, a series of videos educating the public on Type 1 Diabetes, in 90 seconds or less. I hope to work as a staff writer on a TV show or sketch show in the future. Glad to have you here on my LinkedIn!www.beamienik.com@beaonthekeys@beatalkst1d
