Hello Riverside!

My name is Mrs. Hoag and I am very grateful to be teaching Entrepreneurship at Riverside High School this year! I look forward to getting to know you all and building a strong relationship with you.

A little bit about me-- I have had a career in marketing in the private sector and as my children grew I transitioned to a teaching career. I am passionate about helping students make connections between academics and real-life applications in the business world. I am so excited to be a business and marketing teacher at Riverside!

I grew up in Wisconsin and am a graduate of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and studied advertising and public relations as a UW Journalism school student. I recently earned my Master’s in Education Leadership from Saint Mary’s University of Minnesota.  In Florida, I taught high school business, career exploration, and I have also taught English and social studies during my teaching career.

Our family has recently moved to the Greenville area from Florida and we are so excited to call the Upstate home! Travis and I have four, almost grown children. Katarina is studying civil engineering at Clemson, Jonathan received a congressional appointment and is attending West Point -USMA this fall, and Annika and Benjamin will be attending a local high school and continuing their competitive golf journey. Our family loves to golf, do water sports and travel. I also love helping my community and volunteering with The First Tee. I am very excited to teach Entrepreneurship at Riverside and help students explore the many facets of business with the students!
