She studied at the University of California, Berkeley, earning a Bachelor of Philosophy degree in 1900. She was head of the English department at the Anna Head School in Berkeley, California from 1903-1907. After marrying Vernon Kellogg in 1908 and giving birth to their daughter Jean in 1910, she traveled to Brussels with Jean in 1916 and worked with the Commission for Relief in Belgium for a year, on special request of the President. Kellogg studied the women of Belgium and later published Women of Belgium: Turning Tragedy to Triumph (1917), and Bobbins of Belgium (1920). When her husband was appointed by Herbert Hoover as an assistant to the United States Food Administration, Kellogg joined him in his work as an internationally active war relief speaker and fund raiser. In 1921, by appointment of President Warren G. Harding, Kellogg escorted Marie Curie on a voyage from Paris to New York, during which she assisted Curie in translating her work, Life of Pierre Curie. Following the death of her husband in 1937, Kellogg continued to write, living in California until her death on May 8, 1960.
