The Scottish beauty made waves in the villa, first finding a connection with Remell before he got dumped from the villa as the "least popular boy".
He sealed his fate when he snogged bombshell Poppy behind Alima's back, and shared a bed with her for two nights at the Sleepover.
Alima then cracked on with Ben and things were heating up, but she was in a couple with Conor and was left vulnerable when he recoupled with new bombshell Billykiss.
This sent her packing alongside fellow islander Ryan, who was also left vulnerable after the recoupling.
Now, Alima who previously worked at Barclays, has revealed how she was straight on the phone to get her old job back post-exit.
Speaking to Grazia UK she said: “When I came out of the show, I got kind of got thrown in the deep end.
“Some of the girls already had an idea of what they wanted to do. When I came out of the show, the first thing I did was ring my manager at Barclays’ so the option of returning to work was there.
“I’ve not done content creating before, so I didn’t know if it was for me. But now, seeing what other Islanders are doing I’m like "oh, I actually quite like this".
“I don’t want to do what every other islander is doing. I would love to go down the modelling route and work with high end brands.”
Alima previously spoke about her journey on Love Island AfterSun telling host Maya Jama there was another boy that had caught her eye whilst in the villa.

Maya asked her: "Is there anybody that you regret not getting to know better?"
"Erm I think probably Harrison, there was something there, I don't know if that got shown," she replied.
"Then obviously I went for him in the Snog, Marry, Pie challenge.
"And then we had a conversation but I said listen, you are in a pickle when it comes to Toni and Helena, so I'm going to remove myself from the situation."
