Biography

Born and raised in Rhode Island, Loberti attended the University of Rhode Island from 2016 to 2020. She graduated summa cum laude with three majors—Philosophy, Communication Studies, and Political Science—and minors in Ancient Greek language and Rhetoric.[2][3] She received her master's degree in ancient rhetoric with distinction in 2021 from Royal Holloway, University of London on a Fulbright Scholarship.[4] She began her doctoral studies in ancient rhetoric at Pennsylvania State University in 2021.[5]

Loberti, who is blind, 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 landed the part after a global search for blind and low-vision actors. A fan of the book, she auditioned after learning about the search from a former childhood teacher.[6][7] Despite no acting training, Loberti beat out thousands of submission to secure the role; it is her first ever acting role.[8][9][10]
