Ambrea is a creative mother of four who wears multiple hats, including being a real estate developer, construction company owner, TEDx speaker, and debut author. Ambrea left corporate America after fifteen years as a pharmaceutical sales manager to pursue her passion of restoring old architecture, dedicating her skillset full-time to the growth and wellbeing of the companies she owns with her husband, Kevin. To date, they have renovated several homes and buildings for themselves and clients throughout Northwest Ohio. Their company, ARK Restoration, re-developed a former historic Wonder Bread Factory, which they converted into thirty-three luxury loft apartments. The project earned the American Institute of Architect Award as well as the Ohio Heritage Award for outstanding large restoration project. Their newest historic development projects will be the renovation of The Spitzer Arcade and The Nicholas Buildings—the first skyscrapers built in Toledo.

Ambrea is obsessed with designing and creating something special from “undesirable properties” in underserved neighborhoods—to restore and beautify buildings that have been forgotten about, paying close attention to quality and detail.
 
A Toledo native, Ambrea is committed to the success of her hometown. Immersed in her community, Ambrea serves on the boards of The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, Toledo Warehouse District Association, and The Metroparks Foundation.

She has won numerous awards for the impact she's made throughout the state of Ohio, and is also a member of many organizations who strive to make the world a better place, including Links, Inc., an organization with a long tradition of engaging in educational, civic, and intercultural activities in communities across the country.

Ambrea’s mission is to serve the community through real estate development, construction, and motivation—encouraging others to leave their mark by using the natural gifts they were given.
