Her appearances in fashion editorials for Vogue Mexico, Elle, and Cosmopolitan further solidified her status in the modeling world.
Nina’s career continued to flourish as she graced the cover of Maxim magazine in March 2017 and appeared on the 50th-anniversary cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2014 alongside Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge. Her versatility and appeal made her a sought-after model for various campaigns and fashion shows. In 2016, she signed with IMG Models, expanding her reach in the industry.
