She graduated summa cum laude with three majors—Philosophy, Communication Studies, and Political Science—and minors in Ancient Greek language and Rhetoric, and completed the Honors Program.

Loberti will play the lead role of Marie-Laure Leblanc in the upcoming Netflix's adaptation of the 2014 novel All the Light We Cannot See. Loberti, who is also legally blind due to a severe form of the genetic condition achromatopsia, landed the part after a global search for a blind or low-vision actor. A fan of the book, she auditioned after learning about the search from a childhood orientation and mobility teacher. Despite no acting training, Loberti beat out thousands of submission to secure the role; it is her first ever acting role and was her first audition.
