The Model

Meet Nikki Rae, a lifetime resident of Sonoma County. In the heart of the wine country about a half hour north of San Francisco. "Mostly, I am of Portuguese and Irish descent, but most people think I'm Swedish, because I am so sweet!!." A self-described Tom-Boy until finishing high school - she discovered a passion for modeling. "It happened by accident really. While working at a jewelry boutique, I was discovered by a photographer who insisted that I take part in a photo shoot. I reluctantly agreed not knowing how much I would come to love the experience." Nikki didn't pursue modeling at that time. She focused on school and explored other opportunities. "I never forgot the excitement I felt from being in front of the camera. About five years after high school, she resumed her quest for a career in modeling.

"The pinnacle of my modeling career came when being named Miss Cobra Seats 2009. It is a privilege to carry on this honor and to be associated with all the previous Miss Cobra Seats before me. This is an exciting campaign to be apart of and a privilege to work with such talented people. The photo shoot was an amazing experience!
