Ms. Ambriz was born in Mexico and was raised in Anaheim Hills, CA where she joined the Regular Army in 1990.  She enlisted as a Chinook helicopter mechanic, and her first duty station was Ft. Hood, TX followed by Camp Humphreys, South Korea.  

In 1993, Ms. Ambriz was selected for the Army's Green to Gold Program and received an English scholarship from Campbell University, NC.  After three years of college ROTC training at Ft. Bragg, she received her BA in Spanish, and was commissioned as an Adjutant General's Corps 2LT Army Officer in the Army Reserves in 1996.  Edna has served as a Postal PLT LDR, an MP Liaison Officer in Germany, a Personnel Section LDR, and BN Adjutant.

While living in TX, Ms. Ambriz asked God, "How can I make the world a better place?"  Thus, Ms. Ambriz began her teaching journey in Georgetown, TX Independent School District as a Pre-K Teacher's Aide.      

Since Ms. Ambriz and her family have lived throughout the Sierra Vista and Vail/Tucson areas off-and-on since 2001, they chose to move here in 2019 where she taught 4th grade at the SSA East followed by Pre-K at St. Joseph.    

​Ms. Ambriz is a proud and blessed "Mami" of three great kids that were all born in Germany!  They have two dogs.  In her free time she loves to volunteer as a Sacramental Preparation teacher at the DM AFB Parish, as well as, she loves to work-out, practice yoga and walk her dogs.  Edna is a life-long learner!  She loves to read, write and stay in touch with friends and family.  She believes that she can make the world a better place, or wake up each day and work hard to achieve what she is called to do!
