Due to her growing interest in the series, she would join Skype reading sessions with other fans.[6] Eventually, she was inspired to pursue a career in voice acting, but her parents initially disapproved of her plans. Instead, she would initially study at a graphic design vocational school before spending a year as a dental assistant.[6] Once she was able to save enough money for tuition, she enrolled in a voice acting training school.[6]

In 2020, Fairouz was one of the recipients of the Best New Actress Award at the 14th Seiyu Awards.[10] In 2021, she voiced the role of Manatsu Natsuumi/Cure Summer in Tropical-Rouge! Pretty Cure.[11]
