Haver-Løseth made her World Cup debut in February 2006, and her first podium came in a slalom race at Zagreb in January 2015.

At the 2007 World Championships in Sweden at Åre, Haver-Løseth was the top Norwegian female, with 30th in the giant slalom and tenth in the slalom.
Born in Ålesund, Møre og Romsdal, her sisters Lene and Mona Løseth are also alpine ski racers; she represents the Spjelkavik IL club.
