My name is Maria Stoica, and I am a communication professional with over 15 years of experience in journalism, public communication, and institutional relations. I am currently working as a Communication Advisor within the Baia Mare Municipality, where I manage media relations, coordinate public events, and contribute to the city’s communication strategy, including its international engagement. My role also involves working closely with institutional partners, supporting official delegations, and ensuring coherent public messaging. Alongside my institutional work, I remain active in the media field, contributing interviews and editorial content, which allows me to maintain a strong connection to storytelling, public discourse, and community engagement. My professional background is rooted in journalism, where I spent many years writing news, reports, and in-depth interviews. This experience has shaped my ability to communicate clearly, adapt messages to different audiences, and handle complex topics with accuracy and balance. Academically, I hold a Master’s degree in Human Rights, which has strengthened my understanding of public policy, fundamental rights, and international legal frameworks. This perspective is particularly valuable in my current work, where communication often intersects with governance, community needs, and public accountability. I am also involved in international cooperation, serving as Eurocities contact officer for Baia Mare and managing the TIMBERHAUS international project. These experiences have further developed my ability to work in multicultural environments and to engage with European networks and stakeholders. I am particularly interested in areas such as public communication, European cooperation, urban development, and projects that create a real impact in communities.
