Around 2011, Jakušina teamed up with Russian-born Aleksandr Grishin (Latvian: Aleksandrs Grišins). The duo debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix series in early September 2011. They placed 28th in the short dance at the 2013 World Junior Championships in Milan, Italy.

The Toruń Cup in January 2014 was their final international competition together. The two were coached by Alexander Zhulin, Oleg Volkov, and Gennadi Akkerman in Russia.

In 2014, Jakušina teamed up with Russia's Andrey Nevskiy (Latvian: Andrejs Ņevskis). They decided to train under Svetlana Alexeeva, Elena Kustarova, and Olga Riabinina in Moscow. After winning bronze at the Tallinn Trophy in December 2014, they placed 26th at the 2015 European Championships in Stockholm, Sweden, and 29th at the 2015 World Championships in Shanghai, China.

Jakušina/Nevskiy received the silver medal at the Volvo Open Cup in November 2015. They ranked 22nd at the 2016 European Championships in Bratislava, Slovakia, and 29th at the 2016 World Championships in Boston, United States.
