As a hearing person without deaf friends or relatives, how did Felix start her academic research on the deaf and sign language in the first place ? This all began with her undergraduate studies.

The team compiles an online databank of mental health information and assessment in sign language for the Deaf community in Hong Kong, accompanied by workshops to consolidate their understanding towards well-being.

"Oftentimes in life, simply making a choice is not as straightforward as it seems." Referring to the indecision plaguing the eponymous hero of her favourite play, Hamlet, she likens his struggles to the confusion met by many deaf individuals including their parents.
