There is no blanket restriction against anyone from becoming an
Ambassador but it helps to get involved in the project at some level
before applying to be an ambassador.  If you are a people person, I
certainly would recommend participating or organizing a Fedora event or
joining the marketing project

In some ways, if mentors can recognize your name and are familiar with
you, it helps us take the next step.  Hope that helps.
