                                                                                girl who loves her friends, cooking and horseback riding (barrel racing) and now surfing. She is an award winning actress making her debut on a movie set back in 2013 as the role of Payton for the movie "The Evil Gene". Her most recent work 'we are boats" by james bird starring angela sarafyan and luke hemsworth premiered as a winner of the afi world peace initiative in cannes and is now available for rent/buy on demand.  her role as The Healer in the dramatic Music video Xanax : A Love Song with Krysta Youngs brought attention to her first agent Jennifer Patredis of Innovative Artists; it was an amazing experience working with them. the past 2 years she received numerous nominations and awards for her her exciting dramatic role as "Rya" in the short "ZERO-ZERO" & as paris in "passage". 

The acting bug hit Kruiz when attending "Taking the Stage" with Bethany Price Spring of 2013. her role as Tiny Tim in "A Christmas Carol" at the Long Beach Playhouse lead her to pursue more in entertainment industry.

Kruiz gives back to the industry volunteering at the Motion Picture Television Fund (skilled nursing facility) assisting the patients/residents. Her talent and representation has afforded her amazing auditions for leads, principal and supporting roles in major motion pictures and hard hitting series for Showtime, Epix and major networks. kruiz currently studies at warner loughlin technique at the warner loughlin studio.

Kruiz on emotion
and how to  get there authentically

I am very grateful for not only her talent, which is off the charts, but her exceptional professionalism. She is a true pro. ... I am honored to be a part of her journey as an actor, and look forward to watching her career, bloom, no, flower... blossom... Into the storyteller she was born to be.

When the Fever breaks reviews:

 joseph ducut- "5.0 out of 5 stars Apocalyptic modern macro in depth flick
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2020
... The intimacy that lends between the mother and daughter illustrates the human aspect of vulnerability that is often missed in these modern movies and is frankly a breath of fresh air to humanity while keeping true to theme. Well done actors and actresses of all levels, and especially the little girl that made me feel like we were experiencing each complex moment with her as though we were there. 👏👏👏


Antonio D. Charity
5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly warm and heartfelt.
Reviewed in the United States on November 18, 2020
...in this film I was really rooting for the mother and daughter to live. That's different. I really appreciated that part of the story. For me that was very unexpected. And the little girl Kruiz Mauga was very good! She was adorable and believable.

4.0 out of 5 stars when friends are more dangerous than zombies
Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2020

Zombies are not the only enemy in the movie, friends can also be dangerous. Good acting, especially the kid, good directing. An example of how to keep an indie low budget horror in one location without many special effects.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short, sweet zombie surprise
Reviewed in the United States on November 7, 2020

A very different zombie movie. I liked the SPOILERS..... whittling down of characters and the way they did it. The girl who played the daughter was really good!! And great twist at the end!
