Hilary is a passionate, dedicated, and well-rounded educator whose interests in education span from mathematics to accessibility. She began her career as an elementary teacher. She later decided to become a Math Coach to be able to support teachers' understanding of mathematics, while still being able to teach and impact students.

She was elected the President of the Boston Area Mathematics Specialist organization.

As she continued to study mathematics education, curriculum development, and educational policy, she joined the Center for Mathematics Achievement at Lesley University, where she has acted as director since 2017. Hilary co-authored her first book, Adding Parents to the Equation (2019), with Dr. Matthew Beyranevand, which has won three awards by the BookAuthority. Dr. Kreisberg and Dr. Beyranevand's second book, Partnering with Parents in Elementary School Math (2021), assists school leaders and educators in engaging and informing parents about the shifts in math instruction.

These are common refrains from parents and guardians, who are often overwhelmed, confused, and frustrated about how to best support their children with what they see as the "new math." Partnering With Parents in Elementary School Math provides educators with long-overdue guidance on how to communicate with families about their children’s learning. Readers will find guidance on how to:

• Understand what fuels parents’ anxieties and concerns
• Set parents’ expectations about their children’s math instruction and homework
• Communicate clearly & productively about students’ mathematical progress, strengths, & needs
• Run informative and fun family events
• Coach parents to portray a productive disposition at home
