Karlie Kloss

Karlie Klosshttps://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/beauty/a26236158/karlie-kloss-short-haircut-lob-2019/As a supermodel, an entrepreneur, and a philanthropist, Karlie Kloss sets an outstanding example of being an independent and confident woman. Karlie was selected in the TIME 100 list in 2016 as the founder of Kode With Klossy. On top of that, she was chosen as one of the members in the Forbes 30 Under 30 Class of 2018 for her dedication to changing girls’ visions by teaching them how to program computers.

It is her great charisma and self-improvement that sets Karlie apart from others in the modeling industry. Instead of having just a pretty face, Karlie seizes every opportunity to learn new things. Therefore, she even terminated her contract with a prestigious fashion brand at the peak of her career so as to study Business Management and Programming in NYU. Despite the transition from a model to a student, one thing that never changes is the motivation that keeps her ambitiously pursuing her goals.

Accordingly, the non-profit organization set up scholarships for girls aged 13 to 18 to take part in the two-week summer camp. And this has significantly boosted girls’ confidence and inspired them to chase their dreams in the field of coding.

In my eyes, Karlie truly illustrates the definition of an incredible woman: beautiful, intelligent, and generous. Without a doubt, her impact on young women is phenomenal. She taught me to take control of my own life and fearlessly take on challenges. The belief she has in feminism and the commitment she has made are what make Karlie Kloss my hero.
