Competing in the under-20 Pentathlon at the CARIFTA Games between 2007 and 2009, she took silver in that event at the 2009 edition of the meet, on home soil in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia.

[2] In January, 2010, at the Razorback Invitational, Makeba competed in her first collegiate Pentathlon at the Randal Tyson Track Center.

In her first collegiate Heptathlon, at the Southeastern Conference Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee, Makeba had personal bests in six of the seven events to post a sixth-place finish with 5,153 points, a National Record for Saint Lucia.

Outdoors, Makeba was fourth in Heptathlon at the 84th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays, but thanks to an illegal wind during her opening event, the 100m Hurdles, her personal-best 5,543 points would not stand as a new National Record.

Her total of 5,646 points at the SEC Championships surpassed her prior National Record of 5,153, and established a new Heptathlon benchmark for the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States.

The fourth-best mark all-time in Arkansas history, Makeba's total also set a new Heptathlon record for the Specs Town Track.

[5] At the 2011 NCAA Championships, Makeba ended 14th with a total of 5,245 points, good for her second All-America selection of year.

She set career-bests in three of the five components of the pentathlon (6.15m in the Long Jump; 8.35 in the 60 metre Hurdles; 2:16.37 in the 800 metre run) and an indoor PR in the Shot Put at 12.32m en route to a score that surpassed two-time NCAA pentathlon champ Brianne Theisen of Oregon's previous mark of 4,555.

She was a participant in Arkansas' Reading with the Razorbacks and Sweat Hawgs outreach programs to local elementary schools and was involved in Komen Foundation promotion during Chile Pepper Festival.

She helped with donating efforts during Harp's Canned Food Drive and collecting shampoo and soap for 7Hills Homeless Center in Fayetteville.
