"#Hailing from “the middle of nowhere,” #Massachusetts, an #AmericanUniversity #swimmer is now on a national platform for her leadership and #Jewish pride.

#RebeccaSiegel is among the 17 Jewish #collegiate #athletes recently selected as ambassadors by the #BlueSquareAlliance Against Hate. She signed a Name, Image and Likeness deal in December, part of the alliance’s second cohort.

The #athlete ambassador program seeks to highlight #Jewishathletes at the collegiate level to promote their multifaceted identities and bolster Jewish pride through social media, according to a press release.

“I’ve always been very proud to be a #Jew, and I’ve also been very proud of who I am as a swimmer,” Siegel said. “I’ve worked really hard for it, so I’m excited that I’m able to use my platform as an athlete to expand on how proud I am as a Jew."
