Hingston's father William Hingston was superintendent of the Central Bucks School District in Pennsylvania; her mother was a high school mathematics and computer science teacher. She graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a double major in mathematics and physics. After a year studying physics as a graduate student, she switched to mathematics, and completed her Ph.D. in 1981 from Harvard University under the supervision of Raoul Bott. Before joining TCNJ, she taught at the University of Pennsylvania. She has also been a frequent visitor to the Institute for Advanced Study, and has been involved with the Program for Women and Mathematics at the Institute for Advanced Study since its founding in 1994.

Hingston was an invited speaker at the International Congress of Mathematicians in 2014.

Her husband, Jovi Tenev, is a lawyer. She has three children.

She is a fellow of the American Mathematical Society, for "contributions to differential geometry and the study of closed geodesics."
