About Y-Con

Malcolm Seaboyer

President, Marketing/Social Media

The tallest towering member of the Y-Con team at 6' 6", Malcolm is excited about working on the Y-Con team and bringing the "geeky" community of Yarmouth and beyond alive!

Originally growing up in Jordan Falls, NS, Malcolm is the brother of the talented Cassie Seaboyer of CasSea Creations & Cosplay (@cassea64 on instagram). The two of them grew up playing lego, playing hours upon hours of Pokemon, watching Star Wars and having epic games of monopoly.

Malcolm has now moved to Yarmouth and received two diplomas through the NSCC - Information Technology and Business Admin, Marketing. He's an avid traveler, die-hard Formula 1 fan and big time video and board gamer among many hobbies. You may even catch him out and about doing amateur photography, which you can follow along @mjs4320 on instagram.

Kellie Ann Perry

Vice President / Design, Marketing & Social Media

A self-proclaimed super fan of 80’s/90’s cartoons, voice actors, comic books and gaming, this Prince Edward Island-born gal loves all things joyful, creative and fun!

Kellie Ann collects most things World of Warcraft, and as an avid fan, has most of the Collectors Editions and books. She’s also slightly crazy about Halloween and all of the things creative and creepy that goes with it. A creative soul to the very core, she’s a seamstress in her own right, making all of her own costumes, has a love of cooking/baking crazy creations including cakes based on fandoms, and even decorated cakes professionally.

Friendly, super-social with a love for helping out; nerds and non-nerds alike, she’s always on the look-out for like-minded people. She'd volunteered with many events and organizations in the past such as the Canadian Cancer Society Relay for Life, Nova Scotia 55+ Games, Yarmouth Car Show, Nova Scotia Music Week and is super excited for the third year of the event — she can't wait to see you at Y-Con 2024!

Kayla Fells

Events Coordinator / Cosplay

Kayla is a board member of the Y-Con Science Fiction Association; a not for profit organization to bring you the amazing event that is the Y-Con Gaming and Comics Convention.

Kayla was born and raised in the scenic seaport of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Kayla is an energetic lady that has been working in the public and volunteering from a very young age. A pageant queen and huge fan of tabletop games anime and cosplay. She had been known to perform with the team in the comedy podcast Geeks versus Nerds produced in Halifax. A social butterfly; she is always interested to talk about your passions and geekerys. She is more than excited to help get all things geek, nerd, sci-fi, and pop culture a place to be expressed in Yarmouth with the team for Y-Con.

Natasha Yorke-Phillip

Volunteer Coordinator & Community Engagement Coordinator

Bookended between the introduction of Hello Kitty to North America and Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was the birth of Natasha, a new member to the Y-Con Exec. Natasha is a proud Cape Bretoner that has been Nerd-adjacent her whole life. From playing Axis and Allies, D&D, to acting as ‘Steve’ from the original mini series ‘V’ in a St. Joseph’s Elementary School independent play, all things Geek have a special place in the person Natasha has become.

Working as a school-based psychologist in the Tri County Regional Centre for Education for the past 20 years has afforded Natasha countless opportunities to connect with and highlight the amazing qualities of the young nerds and geeks of our area!

Natasha (along with her main squeeze Dave) has been fostering the wonderful world of all things Geek for her three children! When she needs to disconnect from the human world, Natasha is often surrounded by her small (and growing) herd of animals both in reality and in bit-form.

Dean Martin

Vendor Coordinator & Sponsorship Co-Coordinator

Never having been told that when he reached adulthood that he would also have to grow up, Dean has maintained his child-like love and excitement for gaming, comic books, model building, and other geeky pastimes. With a game collection he proudly displays in his newly designated ‘Games Zone’ in the basement of his home and a collection of models in various states of being completed, it’s safe to say that he is fully ensconced in his nerdy pursuits for years to come. Hailing originally from Montreal, PQ, and moving to the Maritimes as a child Dean has spent most of his life in Nova Scotia until his work sent him to the far flung sub-arctic of northern Manitoba for the past ten years. Now, having returned to Nova Scotia and settling in Yarmouth, he thought it would be nice to ease into the gaming community by joining a group of wonderful and talented people to create Y-Con. Because, why not? Also, you can’t tell from looking at him, but Dean can run really, really fast. Say hi to Dean and his lovely wife Michelle and their children Lily, Hannah, and Connor as they will certainly be at Y-Con enjoying this nerdy way of life they have chosen!
