Upon graduation, Ambre began her career in the corporate fashion industry along New York City's famed Seventh Avenue, the heart of the Garment District. Her design career developed an eye for detail as well as a strong business, project management, and problem-solving acumen. She thrives in collaborative environments and idea exchanges.

The DeVirgilio Family relocated to Zachary in 2017 and is proud to call Zachary home. Her husband, Louie, is retired from service in the New York City Police Department. They share two children, Luke and Evangeline.

Mrs. DeVirgilio is a member of Zachary Charity League, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, AIGA (the Professional Association for Design), and Zachary Community School District's parent involvement organization, ZEPTO.
