Miranda Paek
Publications
Salvete, omnes! I'm Miranda Paek, and I have been a Nevada JCL officer for four years. I create the newsletters as well as plan and run events and activities in Southern Nevada. Outside of JCL, I write articles for the Ancient Rome Live project, tutor elementary school math and English, and take part in FIRST Robotics competitions. In my free time you can find me listening to the EPIC saga concept albums and reading. I look forward to another great year for the NVJCL, and my email is mirandajpaek42@gmail.com if you would like to contact me.
Sitara Reganti
Social Media
Hi everyone! My name is Sitara Reganti and I am NVJCL's Social Media Guru. I've been involved with JCL since 7th grade, and have been on the NVJCL State Board since my sophomore year. Being a part of JCL has been an amazing experience. I've met incredible people and I'm so excited to be able to participate in JCL in my senior year. Currently, I am a senior at Sage Ridge School. Outside of JCL, I enjoy a variety of extracurriculars and hobbies, including Mock Trial, Theatre, National English Honors Society, fencing, baking, guitar, and more! I'm excited for this upcoming JCL season!
Thomas/Lily Noone
Communications Coordinator
Salvete, Amici! My name is Thomas/Lily Noone, and I am one of your State Officers. I manage the website, take minutes at meetings, and help provide information to the other officers. When I am not doing things for the NV or Liberty JCL however, I compete on my school's quiz team, make buttons for various things, and play video games (with my favorites being Hades, Starcraft 2, Helldivers 2, or Lethal Company depending on how many other people I am playing with). I hope to meet y'all throughout the year, and if you have any questions, you can contact me at thomaslilynoone@gmail.com
Andrew Barth
Northern Service & Outreach
Salve! I’m Andrew Barth, and I’m a junior at Bishop Manogue High School. This is my fifth year on the state board, and I'm looking forward to meeting everyone doing service. I’ve been in JCL for seven amazing years. Outside of JCL, I love to ski, play soccer, and speech and debate. My favorite part of JCL is playing Certamen and meeting new people!
Shawn Frost
Southern Service & Outreach
Salvete plurimum, my name is Shawn, and this is my third year being a part of JCL. My job is to help the schools in the south of Nevada to join JCL. My hobbies outside of JCL are mainly quiz bowl, and I’ve been doing cub/boy scouts since I was in first grade, and I also play the electric bass since 8th grade.

My name is Owen and I have attended almost every Latin convention, state, local, and national, since the start of my 9th grade year. I am now the director of service for the north on the Nevada state JCL board and I am so happy to have this position. Outside of JCL my main interests are in debate and mock trial.
State Chair
David Fisher
State Chair
I have been a teacher of Latin and the Classics for 27 years, at Liberty for 17 years and this year being my second at the Meadows. My teaching career began in Virginia, my native state, after receiving a BA in Classical Civilization and Theatre from the College of William and Mary. I also serve as an instructor of Latin and Greek at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and an adjunct Education instructor at Nevada State College. In my spare time, I pursue my other chief passions as a hard rock vocalist and spends quality down time with my wife and three dogs.
