Ganem was born in Modesto, California and raised in Torreón, Mexico.[3] She has Mexican and Lebanese heritage.[4] She is a graduate of the University of San Diego.[3] A Hollywood newcomer, Ganem's prior television work includes The Cleveland Show and Rob.[5]
On Devious Maids, Ganem plays the positive, open-minded nineteen-year-old daughter and co-worker of Zoila Diaz (Judy Reyes) and love interest of Genevieve Delatour's (Susan Lucci's) son, Remi Delatour (Drew Van Acker).[6] The Diazes both serve as maids to Delatours and the romance between Valentina and Remi is something that Zoila discourages.[7]
