Her educational background includes an MSW from Stephen F. Austin State University (2012) and a BS in Social Work from The University of Texas at Tyler (2009).

Dr. Hogg's research interests center on equity in social work education, particularly within HBCUs, and the psychological experiences of Black Ph.D. students. Her recent scholarly work explores the impostor phenomenon and aims to amplify underrepresented voices in social work research. She is committed to mentoring future social workers and advancing inclusive practices in both academia and public service.

Her two recent presentations in 2025 reflect a strong thematic focus on identity, representation, and mental health in Black academic spaces, especially within HBCUs. These works contribute to broader conversations on diversity, equity, and inclusion in graduate education and the social sciences.
