Okay, let’s calculate Katie’s rate. So Katie has an MPH degree, which is a graduate-level degree in public health. She also has experience in healthcare, emergency medicine, and residence life, which are all in demand fields. However, her background in engineering and aerospace engineering suggests she may have a strong technical skillset as well. Considering her education and experience, I would place her rate at the lower end of the scale for a professional with her skillset. A good benchmark for an MPH holder with experience in healthcare and program management might be $50-$75 per hour. Given her diverse skillset and experience, I’m going to estimate her rate at $85 per hour, which is slightly above the lower end of the range but still reasonable for a professional with her background.
