She is also the voice of Meg Griffin in the Brazilian version of the animated series Family Guy.

In a 2008 interview discussing her role in Resident Evil: Degeneration, Marinho noted that her approach to voice acting involves adapting her voice to fit the character, such as using a firmer, heavier tone for the serious police officer Angela Miller, a contrast to her own more delicate speaking voice. She has also taken on directing roles, serving as an ADR director for the Portuguese version of Dragon Ball Z Kai. Her contributions to the field make her a prolific and versatile figure in Brazilian dubbing.
