Emily Daggett

Emily Daggett is a doctoral student at the University of Virginia at the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences studying developmental psychology. Daggett's research focus is Montessori education, inspired by her experience as a student in Montessori schools from ages three to 14. Daggett holds Montessori certifications at the infant/toddler, early childhood, and elementary levels.

After working in the classroom for six years, Daggett became an administrator, supporting communications and outreach for Montessori Northwest teacher training center. More recently, Daggett worked as a mentor and instructor to teachers and caregivers at Higher Ground Education, where she delivered online seminars, developed training content, and guided adult learners.

Daggett hopes her research and service work positively impact the lives of children and families worldwide.
