This is awesome and a great way to get hired. Finding a company(or several) you really want to work at and targeting them specifically with a tailor made strategy is probably better than a shotgun approach.
Best of luck to Nina.

Unfortunately, the kinds of talent she showcases on her website is the kind of talent "RESERVED" for higher ups. I see "too much ambition" there and HR may not exactly be willing to approve of her.
(Such is the impression I have received from working in big corporate like places.)
However, when you have the veterans who have already done something great, an ambitious person may seem like a rare opportunity to do something big again.
In the words of Ip Man, it is difficult for a student to find a great teacher. It is more difficult for a teacher to find a great student.
Too much ambition can lead to losing sight of practicality, burn out, high stress, anxiety, depression, high turnover, as well as losing site of the bigger picture.
The two companies where I spent almost a week each writing a cover letter and editing it until I thought it was perfect, have not even bothered to send me a "not interested." Obviously anecdotal, but not sure if I will continue to put in that effort as it does not seem to make a difference for me.
