Sinead Santos

Data Protection Support Officer

Sinead is a Law and Criminology graduate from the University of York with a strong academic background and a dynamic range of extracurricular interests. Her main interest in data protection was sparked during her studies, particularly through her focus on EU law and intellectual property, and is now working on the Support Desk.

Outside the classroom, she was an active member of the university community, playing for the university rugby team and serving as Social Secretary of the Barbell Club for two consecutive years. A well-rounded individual, she balances her passion for fitness, regularly attending the gym, with a creative side, playing both the piano and guitar to a solid standard. She also holds a lifeguarding qualification she suspects she’ll never use. Additionally, Sinead swam competitively for 11 years, including two years at county level.

She would really like to travel again in the future, with the Philippines being her goal destination, but this involves not spending money on clothes and at random places she’s found on TikTok, which she isn’t good at.
