Hackett represented Trinidad and Tobago at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. She competed at the 100 metres sprint and placed fourth in her first round heat, which normally meant elimination. However, her time of 11.53 seconds was among the ten fastest losing times and she qualified for the second round. There she failed to qualify for the semi-finals as her time of 11.46 was the sixth time of her race.<ref name="beijing"/> Together with Wanda Hutson, Ayanna Hutchinson and Kelly-Ann Baptiste she also took part in the 4 × 100 metres relay. In their first round heat they did not finish and were eliminated due to a mistake with the baton exchange.<ref name="beijing"/>

Hackett ran a relay at the 2011 World Championships in Athletics, but was retrospectively disqualified and banned for six months because of a failed drugs test for methylhexaneamine at the National Championships.<ref>[http://www.trackalerts.com/index.php/news/latest-stories/6535-tat-federation-to-confirm-hacketts-positive-test-on-monday T&T federation to confirm Hackett's positive test on Monday] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151210201314/http://www.trackalerts.com/index.php/news/latest-stories/6535-tat-federation-to-confirm-hacketts-positive-test-on-monday |date=2015-12-10 }}.
