Maria Stoian

I hit the ground running, learn fast and get the job done effectively and efficiently, always aiming for excellence. I thrive in cross-functional teams. For 15+ years I successfully served as a liaison between diverse departments of a leading media production and distribution company and a wide range of institutional partners.

Financial education, arts and culture, healthcare, climate and sustainability are some of the content areas at the core of the multimedia projects that I have been managing.

Currently working as the Senior Producer for Consuelo Mack WealthTrack, a weekly half-hour series broadcast by PBS stations and streaming on YouTube, as well as several podcasting platforms. WealthTrack provides trustworthy advice on how to build and protect wealth over the long term. My responsibilities include overseeing the work of six team members, editing a weekly newsletter, creating and publishing the posts on the WealthTrack Facebook and X accounts.

From June 2021 to December 2023, in the role of Senior Producer for Multiplatform Initiatives at The WNET Group, I trained and managed a staff of seven, while overseeing the entire production workflow for all projects (with budgets totaling approximately $5M) and posts published on the two websites and the seven related social media accounts on Facebook, Instagram, X and YouTube for the PBS national initiatives Peril and Promise: The Challenge of Climate Change and Chasing the Dream: Poverty and Opportunity in America.

Previously, I produced video programs and oversaw post-production for a variety of video series distributed via multiple platforms, including Camp TV, Let's Learn, NYC-ARTS, Reel13, SundayArts, America's Investigative Reports, Resident Life.

I earned a master's degree from Columbia Journalism School and a bachelor's degree that prepared me to teach English and French to non-native speakers and work as a translator/interpreter for language pairs including Romanian.
