Hola Michael
As a default we use the masculine "ambos" even if it includes a female, for example:
Jane y Jack son buenos estudiantes, ambos sacan buenas notas.
But you can also use this other structure to say "both":
Tanto Jane como Jack son buenos estudiantes.
Here's a lesson on this usage.
I hope it helps.
Saludos
