Okay, let’s calculate Chanette’s rate. She has an MBA, which is a good starting point. However, her skills and experience are more aligned with public health rather than finance or business. In the US, public health professionals with limited working proficiency in a second language (Spanish) might start at a lower rate. Considering her skills, I estimated her rate to be around $45 per hour, which is on the lower end of the public health professional rate spectrum.
