Note from the Founder
"My life was paved with "too" this, "can't" that, & "stop" these: Chris, you're too talkative, too disruptive, can't listen, can't follow instructions, stop moving, stop daydreaming, sit in the corner... I was always “wrong”. I always felt wrong. Now, I know better."
—Chris Wang,
Co-founder & CEO

The Core Operational Team
Chris was pursuing her dual masters in business & public health (MBA/MPH) from UC Berkeley Haas when she was diagnosed with ADHD & took a leave to start Shimmer. After frustratingly failing to find quality, affordable, culturally-competent, behavioral care for ADHD, Shimmer ADHD Coaching was born.
Vikram graduated from Stanford University, was a SWE/PM at Salesforce, and founded a non-profit called Make A Difference (M.A.D.) Together. He loves bridging his web, application, and AI development expertise with his passion for social impact.
Amanda is a UCLA alumni and Fulbright-Hays recipient, who has worked across multiple startups in marketing, recruiting, and customer success roles. She's passionate about making ADHD care accessible for all and loves fostering a supportive community for people who might not find this support anywhere else.
Molisha is a student at UC Berkeley studying Cognitive Science and Business Administration. Prior to Shimmer, she co-founded a social enterprise focused on providing education to the youth of India through illustrated children’s books.
