She was subsequently hired as a Consultant for the Human Rights Commission and presently works at the Office of the Ombudsman - an organisation which investigates complaints about the administrative actions of Public Authorities. She serves as a board member for Bermuda's Emerging Professionals, the Youth Division of the Chamber of Commerce, organising events focusing on professional development.

It is Aliyyah's interests in human rights, immigration and public policy that have encouraged her to pursue law and to use this training for the benefit of Bermuda.
