Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Landín has entertained audiences since her days as the youngest member of her church choir at age three. Two years later, she fell in love with the stage playing Snow White in the classic fairy tale play by the same name. At nine, her family decided to leave their beloved island and relocate to Orlando, Florida. Despite the initial language barrier, she continued to perform locally and later won the title of "Miss Puerto Rico of Orlando" during her senior year of high school. Upon graduating from Rollins College with a Bachelor's Degree in Music, Landín continued her music and acting career, performing in multiple shows at Universal Studios and Walt Disney World until she landed the role of dolphin trainer Kat in the hit Warner Bros. film "Dolphin Tale."
Soon after, Landín moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting full-time. In 2014, she went on to reprise the role of Kat for the film "Dolphin Tale 2" and has since worked alongside Robert DeNiro in the family film "The War With Grandpa," Showtime's hit series "Ray Donovan" opposite Liev Schreiber, and was featured in her first action feature "Line of Duty" starring Aaron Eckhart. Landín has starred in independent films like "Deceived" and the social impact drama "Angie: Lost Girls" as Detective Laurie Warren. She has since gone on to reprise her role as Det. Warren in "Maya," the sequel looking to raise awareness about critical issues such as child trafficking and domestic abuse. Most recently, Landín returned to Puerto Rico to work in the highly anticipated werewolf action horror movie Year 2, directed by Stephen C. Miller and starring Frank Grillo. Landín has also expanded her career into writing and producing with the feature film "Secondary Effect" and 70's wartime action "Cobra Gold" based on the book Cobra 405 by Damien Lewis.
