She is the 2024 World silver medalist, 2022–23 Grand Prix Final silver medalist, the 2023 Grand Prix de France champion, a six-time ISU Grand Prix medalist, a five-time ISU Challenger Series medalist (three gold, one silver, one bronze), the 2023 U.S. national champion, and a three-time U.S. National bronze medalist (2022, 2024, 2026).

At the junior level, Levito is the 2022 World Junior champion, the 2021 JGP France II champion, the 2021 JGP Austria silver medalist, and the 2021 U.S. junior national champion.

Personal life Levito was born on March 3, 2007, in Philadelphia, and currently resides in Mount Holly, New Jersey. Her mother, Chiara Garberi Levito, is a clinical embryologist who immigrated to the United States from Milan, Italy, in 1997. Her father, Joseph Levito, was from Philadelphia and died in 2019. Levito is named after Michelle Pfeiffer's character, Isabeau d'Anjou, in the film Ladyhawke. She speaks English, Italian, and some Russian.

Levito cites skaters Alena Kostornaia, Evgenia Medvedeva, Elizaveta Tuktamysheva, and Kaori Sakamoto as being her skating inspirations and role models.

Career Early years Levito began learning how to skate in 2010 at the age of three in Mount Laurel, New Jersey. Her mother, a figure skating fan, initially put her in learn-to-skate classes to improve her balance. Although Levito was also assigned to compete at the 2024 Finlandia Trophy, she withdrew two weeks before the event was set to take place.

Levito withdrew from the 2025 U.S. Figure Skating Championships a week before the event, citing a foot injury, though she still hoped to be named to the 2025 World Championships team. On January 25, it was announced she had been named to the 2025 World team, pending Return to Play Protocol.

She returned to competition in February at the Road to 26 Trophy in Milan, Italy, which served as a test event for the 2026 Winter Olympics. In the short program, she finished in second place and landed a triple-double jump combination. Afterward, Levito said that while her right foot had fully healed, it still felt weaker as she had not been able to train with it while healing. She also said that while she had hoped she could attempt a more difficult triple-triple combination in her program, she was not quite ready to do so yet as she had only resumed training jumps three weeks previously. In the free program, she received edge calls and underrotation calls on several of her jumps but remained in second place overall. Following the event, Levito's spot on the 2025 World team was made official. Later in the month, she competed at the 2025 World Championships held in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Levito skated a clean short program, placing third in that segment. During the free skate, although she fell on the second part of her opening triple flip-triple toe combination attempt, she managed to skate the remainder of the program cleanly aside from landing a planned triple lutz on the quarter. Although Levito scored a season's best free skate and combined total score, she only placed fifth in the free skate segment and ended up dropping to fourth place overall.

2025–26 season: Milano Cortina Olympics and Grand Prix medal Levito began the season by competing on the 2025–26 ISU Challenger Series, winning the gold medal at the 2025 CS Cranberry Cup International and placing fourth at the 2025 CS Nebelhorn Trophy.

In January, Levito competed at the 2026 U.S. Championships, winning the bronze medal behind Amber Glenn and Alysa Liu. "I’m really glad that I was able to just rely on my training to get me through the program with no big problems or anything," she said after the free skate. "So, I’m just happy."

On 17 February, Levito competed in the short program segment at the 2026 Winter Olympics, finishing in eighth in that segment after her triple loop jump was called as being landed on the quarter. Two days later, Levito struggled throughout her free skate, falling on her opening triple flip jump, having three jumps called as being landed on the quarter, and failing to perform a triple-triple combination. She placed thirteenth in that segment and dropped to twelfth place overall.

The following month, Levito competed at the 2026 World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic. She placed fourth in the short program but dropped to seventh in the free skate, finishing in fourth place overall. "Given my consistency, it’s okay," said Levito about her placement. "I’m fourth at Worlds, which is still a very good accomplishment. I don’t really feel tired. I still feel somewhat happy."
