In 2006 she took part in the Junior World Championships for the first time in Presque Isle and ran to places 29 in the individual, 16 in the sprint, 22 in the pursuit and eleventh with the relay. The Polish woman did not finish her two races in Martell the following year.

Jakieła has started with women in the performance area since 2008. She contested her first race in the IBU Cup in Obertilliach and was 52nd in this individual. In the following sprint, she won first points in 36th place. The best result so far is a 19th place, achieved in an individual in Osrblie .

In the 2008/09 season Jakieła was appointed to the A-squad of Poland for the first time, from which she dropped out again the following season because the Polish national team was greatly reduced in view of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver to better promote the strongest athletes to be able to. For the 2010/2011 season, she moved back to the A-team.
