At the 2018 Skate Canada Challenge, Makita/Gunara again won gold, this time in the novice division. They went on to win silver at the 2018 Canadian Championships behind Nadiia Bashynska / Peter Beaumont, after making a few mistakes and "underperforming" according to their coach. Their result earned them their first international assignment, the 2018 Egna Dance Trophy. At the event, Makita/Gunara won their first international medal, advanced novice bronze, behind Russians Sofia Lukinskaya / Valery Angelopol and Bashynska/Beaumont.
