Hi everyone!! My name is Maddie Frimmer and I’m the 2025-26 President of Kappa Delta Pi! I am a senior elementary education major from Waynesboro, Virginia. This is my 3rd year in KDP and 2nd year on exec! I am extremely excited to lead this amazing organization this year as we build our “teacher toolboxes” together! 

In my free time, I love to try out new recipes, go on walks, be with family and friends, binge watch Netflix, and listen to music! I work at a small town ice cream shop back home during the summer time as well as travel as much as I can! I couldn’t be more excited about becoming a teacher and I love seeing how passionate we all are about this profession! KDP has been a home for me at JMU and I’ve met many of my best friends through this org. I can’t wait for this year with you all and hope that many others can find a home here! 

Hello everyone! My name is Ella Wadhams and I am your Vice President this year! I am currently a junior history major with a double minor in social studies and pre-professional secondary education. This is my first year on KDP exec and my second year as a member of KDP and I love it! I am from Magnolia, Delaware and you can usually find me reading a good book, drinking an iced mocha latte with ALMOND milk, or listening to my summer playlist!

​

When I am not at KDP events you can find me in Wilson Hall, tutoring, taking prospective students on tours, hanging with friends, or around campus doing fun activities with Harrisonburg elementary students! 

​

I love this organization so so much and CANNOT wait to see you guys and what we do this year!

Hello everyone! My name is Hunter Carney, and I am your Professional Development Chair this year! I am currently a Senior Elementary Education major with a dance minor. This is my second year on KDP exec and my third year as a member of KDP, and I love it! I am from Cranford, New Jersey, and can usually be found reading a good book or dancing along to a Taylor Swift song!

KDP is an awesome community here at JMU for education majors to find friends who share the same passion for teaching as they do. I have found my best friends in this organization, and I cannot wait to meet all the new faces joining this year!

Hi! My name is Jessica Flammia and I am a senior elementary education major!

This will be my third year as a KDP member and my first year as an exec member! I have enjoyed my time in KDP so far and at JMU and can't wait to serve on the board this upcoming year!

I sincerely believe that teaching and serving others goes hand in hand. There's nothing more important than using our resources, time, and talents to uplift those around us. In this role I will connect our chapter to causes that matter such as, volunteering in local schools, hosting donation drives, and partnering with community organizations. "Service isn't just something we do, it's who we are."

When I'm not in Memorial Hall, you can find me exploring new places in Harrisonburg, working out, or trying yummy new foods!

Thank you all for being a part of Kappa Delta Pi!

Hey!! My name is Ellie Fisher and I am your Networking Chair again this year. I am a senior (!?) Secondary Ed & English major and this is my third year in KDP, second on exec.

I’m from Columbia, Maryland and I love everything creative. Much of my free time is spent reading (fiction, some romance/fantasy, classics), doing arts and crafts of various types, rewatching the same five movies over and over, etc.. I love music! Indie/pop like Taylor, Lizzy, Phoebe, Wallows, and I dabble in alt/pop-punk/rock on occasion. I also take pictures of literally everything and dilly-dally with photography in my free time :)
 

I love KDP and can't wait to see what my last year here holds for all of us!

Hey everyone! My name is Addison Six and I'm the 2025-2026 Treasurer of Kappa Delta Pi! I am a junior, elementary education major with an honors minor, and I'm from Ashland, VA - The Center of the Universe! This is my 2nd year in KDP and my 1st year serving on the executive board. I'm beyond excited to serve in this leadership role and continue to grow our mission within the JMU community! 

While in school, I'm a student administrative assistant for one of JMU's Associate Vice Presidents, Dr. Myles Surrett and a substitute teacher in Hanover County, VA. Outside of school, I like to stay active through intramural sports and working out, along with hanging out with friends and family. In addition, I love to read, bake chocolate chip cookies, and spend time outdoors. I cannot wait for another amazing year in KDP and sharing my experience with you! 

Hey! My name is Eliza Nuzzo and I am your KDP secretary for this year! I am a senior Elementary Education major with a minor in TESOL, and I am from Bristow, VA (nova). This is my third year in Kappa Delta Pi, and my first on exec. I am so very excited for this year!!

On the rare occasion that I am either not in Memorial Hall or teaching, you can probably find me drinking an iced chai latte while listening to music and reading a good book. I also love cats, and have two black cats back at home, named Coco and Nina. Additionally, I love to travel and have been to 45 out of the 50 states! My favorite states so far are Colorado and Maine. 

Let's have a great year!

Hi everyone! My name is Dana Humphreys and I am your historian for the 2025-2026 school year! I am a junior history major with minors in secondary education, social studies, and classical studies, and I’m from Chesapeake, Virginia. 

This is my second year in KDP and first on the executive board, and I could not be more excited for the school year!! 

I love all things music, you can probably find me at concerts and even little shows in Harrisonburg (some fave artists are Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, hippo campus, and Hozier). I also love reading and weightlifting, so you might see me at UREC;), or even more likely, you’ll see me in line for coffee at literally any cafe nearby. (My go to order is a lavender iced latte.)

I’ve truly found a home in KDP and I hope this org also helps you all find your people and strengthen your passion for education! I can’t wait for an awesome year!
