As the owner of Cruz Law, Blyss's estate planning practice focuses on helping families enhance their lives today and secure their legacies for tomorrow. Blyss has lived in Alaska nearly all of her life and has spent the last fourteen years in Anchorage. During that time, she worked in special credits dealing with troubled loans and bank-owned properties at Northrim Bank while earning her MBA and raising two children with her husband. After leaving the banking industry, she went to work for nearly ten years at the Municipality of Anchorage as the manager of tax enforcement and delinquent court-ordered fine collection.
