Dr. Sarah Okonkwo
Behavioral & Compliance Researcher
Industrial-organizational psychologist consulting on attendance-tracking design for schools and workplaces, with a side focus on habit feedback loops.
Sarah finished her doctorate in industrial-organizational psychology in 2017 and went straight into independent consulting. Her work sits at the intersection of behavior change and compliance — she designs the tracking systems that let a school document attendance honestly, lets a warehouse keep its safety incident logs straight, and lets a remote team see its own habits without resorting to surveillance.
She is opinionated about the difference between counting and surveilling and writes about that line frequently.
