Daisy Wang | BCBA, MEd.
“I started my career working with children with autism in Vancouver in 2001. I am active in the realm of autism research and have presented at a number of national and international conferences hosted by the Applied Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) and Association of Professional Behavior Analysis (APBA). I am a certified provider of the UCLA PEERS® program to teach social skills to teens with autism, as well as completed advanced training in the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM). When I am not working with families and children, I enjoy spending time outdoors running, swimming, and climbing.”

Jenn Jaeger | BCBA
I am Jenn, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over 15 years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I have worked with children and families in Orange County across home, clinic, school, and community settings, focusing strongly on providing individualized, compassionate, and evidence-based care. I also hold a certification as a Behavioral Sleep Specialist, which allows me to support families in addressing sleep-related challenges that impact daily functioning and quality of life. My professional interests include early intervention, social skills development, and parent coaching- empowering caregivers through collaboration, education, and practical strategies. I am passionate about helping clients build communication, independence, and social confidence while supporting families every step of the way.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my partner and young son. We enjoy listening to country music, exploring local OC parks, and going on foodie adventures.

A fun fact about me is I love sweets and spending time with my family.”

My proudest moment with Social Collaborative is learning how to get creative! A fun fact about me is that I have been playing basketball since I was 5 years old and I shoot some hoops during my free time!
Bella Yu | Behavior Technician
I’m passionate about supporting children and families through evidence-based, relationship-centered care. I love seeing small moments of growth – whether it’s a new word, a successful transition, or a moment of shared joy, that show how much potential each child has. A fun fact about me is that I’ve been part of competitive dance teams and have a deep passion for the arts. I also love spending time with my dog. I’m grateful to be part of the Social Collaborative team and to support the amazing families we serve.

Duck Hernandez | Behavior Technician
I am a college student at CSUF and I’m eager to grow in this field.
My favorite part about my work is seeing the gradual improvement and seeing that my aid is
helping people. That is extremely rewarding to see. Aside from work, I like to create, whether
that is on paper or as movement. I am an experienced dancer and have been since the age of 6.

Felicia Lee | Operations & Practice Manager
To me, purpose is everything and I seek to help people for the rest of my life. Here at Social Collaborative, my goal is to effectively help the families and staff with gusto and a smile. I have been in healthcare since 1997 and have extensive multi-specialty experience. Effective operations means that people feel heard and supported as we succeed, and I take this very seriously. Outside of work and school, I teach Women’s Bible Study, counsel as a Stephen minister, love spending time with my son, and rescue animals. Things are always busy and life is never boring!
