Kristin Johnson

Originally hailing from Hattiesburg, Mississippi, but raised with deep Cajun roots in Louisiana, this Southern Belle thrives on three essentials: sarcasm, coffee, and nerdy memes.

When Kristin isn’t ensuring that CYPHACON runs smoother than a buttered-up otter, they’re likely immersed in perfecting their D&D character sheet or binge-watching the latest sci-fi series. As the Programming Director of the team, Kristin brings a galaxy-sized wealth of knowledge in sci-fi, Broadway, arts, video games, baseball, and an almost obsessive attention to detail. Nothing says “dedicated” like triple-checking every event schedule while sipping from a themed coffee mug.

An accidental encounter at CYPHACON in 2022 got her hooked, and she’s been growing the convention ever since. Kristin has leveled up their skills in hospitality, organization, customer service, and more, making them the Gandalf to our fellowship. Whether wrangling last-minute panel changes or orchestrating epic cosplay contests, they handle every challenge with the precision of a seasoned Pokémon trainer.

Outside of convention chaos, you’ll find Kristin donning many scrunchies (not a hat person), balancing roles as a Sunday School teacher, healthcare worker, mother, and adorable partner in crime(spouse). Channeling their inner geek, they bring fresh, innovative ideas to the table. Their commitment to CYPHACON is as unyielding as a Mandalorian’s creed, ensuring every attendee has an unforgettable experience.
