Raised in Mexico, she stood out from an early age due to her outgoing personality and her desire to appear on the big screen, which led her mom to take her to the casting call Eugenio Derbez posted on Twitter, now X.
Originally, the director was looking for a boy, but after not finding the right one, he decided that a blue-eyed girl who spoke both English and Spanish could be perfect to play Maggie. And he was right.
“Since I was little, I would sing to my parents, play pretend with my friends like we were actresses, and I thought, ‘This is amazing.’ So one day, while walking with my dad, I asked him: ‘How can I get on the screen?’”

That same year, Loreto made her modeling debut, walking the runway for designer Raquel Orozco, wearing the Fall-Winter collection titled "Restauración."
Despite her busy work schedule, Loreto continued her education, paying special attention to developing her acting technique. Over time, she began to shine in more mature roles, being featured on "War of Likes" and "You Are My Problem." Now, at the age of 21, Loreto has established herself on television, appearing as Rosita on Netflix’s hit series "The House of Flowers."
