She became a judge to help out the store she manages, as well as her community, which is one of the things she likes most about the game. Of course, there&#8217;s a lot to love about Magic the Gathering and it&#8217;s hard to just pick one thing!<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the Exemplar itself:<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>&#8220;In Albuquerque, you put in an insane amount of hours of backbreaking work to help keep Prize Wall and Registration running smoothly. You took on a huge amount of responsibility and handled it all with aplomb. Prize Wall and event registration are two pinch points of player-staff interactions and you went to great lengths to improve the experience for all involved parties. Thank you for your excellent skills in providing an exceptional experience for the players!&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Isn&#8217;t that just dandy? Brings a tear to my eye, it&#8217;s so lovely. Sometimes hard work and a drive to give something your all can be the difference between an event running smoothly and being a disaster. Megan seems to have contributed to the former as well as made sure the players had a good time; and providing good customer service is something players will remember long after the event is over.<\/p>\n<p>Both Jeremy and Megan have been a prime example of what it means to be exemplary in the judging community.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption alignleft judgeimg\"><a href=\"https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/judges\/dci\/1300388599\"><img src=https:\/\/apps.magicjudges.org\/dci\/avatar?dci=1300388599&size=200 alt=\"Written by: Sal Cortez\"><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Written by: Sal Cortez<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings readers and welcome to another Exemplar Highlights!
