Landon A. Dillard was born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. She was raised within the walls of First Presbyterian Church, Charlotte, and actively involved with various aspects of the church, such as bell choir, youth group, local service projects, mission trips, and Montreat conferences.

Landon is a proud dog mom to a chocolate lab named Camden. She is also an identical twin, often confusing people (unintentionally) when they are together. In her free time, she enjoys reading, cooking, baking, traveling, and spending time with her family.
