Loberti's powerful performance was nominated for a Film Independent Spirit Award for Best Breakthrough Performance in a New Scripted Series. The same year, she received a Rising Star Award at the 2023 Toronto International Film Festival.

Before turning her focus to acting, Loberti was a PhD candidate in ancient rhetoric at Penn State University. She received her Masters in ancient rhetoric with distinction in 2021 from Royal Holloway, University of London on a Fulbright Scholarship.

Loberti has also been a passionate and accomplished human rights advocate since her childhood. Her work has spanned several national and international forums, including addressing United Nations youth conferences in 2016 and 2017 and a TEDx talk in 2018. Focusing on the intersection between the climate crisis, gender parity, and education access, Loberti is now a UNICEF Ambassador.
