Warm greetings to all! My name is Mrs. Naleen Sharma, and Korovuto College.holds a very special place in my heart. I was blessed to begin my educational journey here as a student from 1984 to 1989. After completing my secondary studies, at Shri Vivekananda College in 1990, I obtained my tertiary qualification to pursue my passion for teaching.

With deep pride and commitment, I returned to Korovuto College to serve as a teacher, dedicating a total of 26 years to this great institution—from 1992 to 1997 and again from 2005 to 2025.

As an Accounting and Economics teacher, I see each day as an opportunity to inspire, empower, and guide young minds. I believe in nurturing not just academic knowledge, but also self-discipline, resilience, and ambition—values that help students achieve success beyond the classroom. Nothing gives me greater fulfillment than seeing my students grow into confident, capable individualswho contribute meaningfully to society.

Beyond teaching, I find peace in flower gardening and joy in travelling and sightseeing.

“To teach is to touch a life forever—and I am humbled to do so every day.”
