Her works provide examples of:
- I Am Not Spock: She has voiced a great deal of major characters, often protagonists, in many Italian anime dubs in the 90s and 2000s, but grown-up 90s kids will forever hear Sailor Moon speaking whenever she's talking. She has embraced her legacy and remembers very fondly her role as Bunny over twenty years later.
- Typecasting: As the Stock Shoujo Heroine and/or the leader of a group of girls in animated series, ever since she dubbed Usagi in Sailor Moon. Obviously, she also played different roles, but this is by far the most frequent.
