She received a Best Actress in a Comedy award at the American Anime Awards for her work as Zatch in Zatch Bell! and for Chica's Magic Rainbow in FNAF World Update 2.[8][9][10]

Aside from her work as a voice actress, Derryberry worked on the 1993 film Free Willy as the stunt double for Jesse in some shots that showed Keiko who played Willy.
