Aisha Abdul-Aleem, BSc.
Case Manager Supervisor
New Beginnings Men’s Shelter

Aisha Abdul-Aleem brings over eight years of valuable experience as a Registered Medical Assistant. Her career began in a physician’s practice. It later expanded to temporary roles at New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital as an ER Registrar and NYU Langone Health/Tisch Hospital as a Patient Unit Associate. These experiences showcased her adaptability and inspired her to pursue a career in nursing.

Motivated to further her education, she enrolled at St. Joseph’s College in Brooklyn. Although the college did not offer an entry-level nursing program and was geared towards individuals with an associate degree seeking a bachelor’s degree, she chose a different path. Instead, she enrolled in the social services program and earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Services, demonstrating her commitment to learning and personal growth.

Ms. Abdul-Aleem continued her journey as a case manager at Black Veterans for Social Justice (BVSJ), where she worked from 2019 to 2023. In 2023, she transitioned to the African American Planning Commission, Inc. (AAPCI) – New Beginnings Men’s Shelter, where she continued her work as a case manager. She is now thriving as a Case Manager Supervisor, showing her leadership skills and ability to guide a team toward common goals.

Although Ms. Abdul-Aleem did not pursue a degree in nursing, she embodies the principles of health and wellness. While academic qualifications provide a solid foundation for success, she believes that hands-on experience is what truly teaches and inspires individuals. Looking ahead, Ms. Abdul-Aleem aspires to achieve long-term goals and further advance her career in social services.
