амбициозная девушка would be the most literal translation and better still it conveys the meaning of the original phrase quite accurately. So I'd recommend sticking to that phrase
As far as I know "ambition" in English and Russian means not always the same. In Russian it may have a negative implication. For example:Quote:

On the other hand, this word doesn't imply anything negative in English as a result it may cause a misinterpretation. But it's rather a subtle thing, I must admit.
