She directed Season 1, Episodes 5 and 6 of Netflix's hit series Wednesday, the final three episodes of Marvel/Disney+'s Agatha All Along, and two episodes of Netflix's The Witcher. Gandja also wrapped a block of episodes for Hulu's Paradise City, created by Dan Fogelman.

Her previous work includes serving as the Producing Director on Season 4 of Showtime's The Chi, where she redefined the show's visual style and directed nearly half the season, including the finale.

Raised between New York City's Lower East Side and Rio de Janeiro, Gandja began making films at 17 and has been travelling the world since infancy, experiences that have profoundly influenced her storytelling. She is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, a participant in AFI's Directing Workshop for Women, and a fellow of Fox's TV Directors Lab and Universal's Feature Directors Program.

Her directing career spans over a dozen countries, four continents, and eight languages. It includes commercials for major brands like Nike, Adidas, Google, Coca-Cola, AT&T, and Chevrolet, as well as music videos for artists such as Marcelo D2 and Pusha-T.

Gandja is set to direct the feature film Sabu for Warner Bros., produced by MACRO, with Anthony Ramos and Bad Bunny starring. The film chronicles the life of Hector "Sabu" Monsegur, founder of the hacker group LulzSec, an offshoot of "Anonymous." Additionally, she is collaborating with producer Stacey Sher (Pulp Fiction) and Orion Pictures on the pre-apocalyptic horror film Hags.
