About Me
My background
Hi, I’m Bri Nunley - a driven student-athlete, strategic thinker, and passionate leader committed to making a lasting impact both on and off the field.
As a Division I soccer player at Arizona State University, I’ve learned to thrive under pressure, lead by example, and stay relentlessly focused on my goals. I balance the demands of collegiate athletics with my academic pursuit of a degree in marketing at the W.P. Carey School of Business, where I’m also a member of Barrett, The Honors College.
Beyond the classroom and the field, I serve as President of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and President of EmpowHER, leading efforts to elevate the student-athlete experience and empower future women leaders in sports. My leadership reflects a deep commitment to advocacy, inclusion, and community-building.
I’ve also gained hands-on experience through internships in sponsorship strategy, event operations, and digital marketing sharpening my skills in relationship-building, project execution, and brand growth. My passion for mentorship shines through in my weekly training with youth athletes and through initiatives like the International Student-Athlete Welcome Packet I developed to support ASU’s global community.
This site brings together the diverse experiences, values, and accomplishments that define who I am and who I’m becoming.
ASU Womens Soccer
Being a Division I student-athlete has profoundly shaped me both as a leader and a learner. Juggling academics, training, competition, and leadership roles has taught me invaluable lessons in discipline, time management, and resilience. The platform has also allowed me to advocate for others, form lasting connections, and grow through adversity. My journey hasn’t been without challenges, facing multiple injuries during my first two years tested me in ways I never expected, but ultimately deepened my resilience and strengthened my commitment to excellence both on and off the field.
Athlete Leadership & Advocacy
As President of ASU’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), I lead efforts to amplify student-athlete voices, foster inclusive leadership, and create lasting impact across campus. Whether advocating for International Student Athlete support or building community through initiives such as being President of EmpowHER, I’m committed to driving change that empowers student-athletes to lead with purpose on and off the field.

Mentorship & Youth Development
Training and mentoring young athletes is one of the most fulfilling parts of my journey. Whether it’s on the field guiding technical skills or off the field building confidence, I aim to be the mentor I once needed. I believe in developing the whole athlete; instilling values of teamwork, discipline, and self-belief. Watching young players grow not just in their sport, but in their mindset, reminds me why I do what I do.

Being part of this initiative aligns with my own passion for showing kids that they can become anything they dream of. Whether through mentorship, sport, or simply being present, I believe in creating spaces where children feel empowered, valued, and limitless in what they can achieve.
