Okay, let’s tackle this. So Marie has a broad range of skills in communications, including strategic planning, public relations, and marketing. She’s working in New York, which is a hub for non-profits and communications professionals. Her skills are in demand, but she’s not in a super competitive field like tech or finance. Based on national averages for communications professionals in non-profit settings, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $100. This is slightly below average, considering her skills and experience. However, given the current market, I think this rate is reasonable.
