Okay, let’s tackle this. So Dr. Sharon Souter has 10 years of experience as a professor at the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. Her skills in teaching, curriculum design, and public speaking are valuable in higher education. Location is Temple, Texas, which is a smaller city with lower cost of living. Considering her experience and skills, I would estimate her hourly rate to be on the lower side of the education industry. Averages for professors in the US range from $40 to $100 per hour, depending on the institution and location. Since Dr. Souter has a PhD and teaching experience, maybe a bit higher. However, given the location and industry standards, I'll estimate around $75 per hour.
