Meet our team! Amela Zeljo is a Patient Advocacy Associate with RPV. She’s an American-Bosnian citizen whose background includes marketing, graphic design, and project management. Amela loves helping people and always tries to maintain a positive attitude everywhere she goes. She values her role in supporting patients and family caregivers to be heard by researchers.
“What makes me proud is knowing our work helps people feel seen. Many of our participants have faced years of being overlooked in healthcare conversations, and RPV gives them the platform they’ve long deserved. It’s amazing to play a role in that change.”
In her off hours, Amela enjoys spending time with her cat, Patchi, and playing soccer. In fact, she was at one time a goalkeeper for the Bosnian National Soccer team!
