Okay, let’s tackle this. So Laura Ashley La has 8 years of experience in marketing, which is a solid amount of time to develop skills. She holds a degree from the University of Texas at Austin, which is a reputable institution. Location is Irving, Texas, which is a mid-sized city. Marketing professionals with her experience and education typically charge around $50–$100 per hour. However, considering the cost of living in Texas, I'll adjust the rate downward to $85 per hour. This rate is slightly below the national average for marketing professionals, but it's still a competitive rate for someone with her experience and education in a mid-sized city.
