Okay, let’s tackle this. So Mary has a diverse set of skills, but they don’t seem to be in high-demand or high-paying fields. She’s not in tech, finance, or healthcare, which tend to pay more. Her skills are more creative and service-based, which can be lower-paying. Location is Mesa, Arizona, which has a relatively low cost of living. Considering her skills and location, I’d estimate her hourly rate to be around $75, which is on the lower end of the scale. Some entry-level professionals in similar fields might charge $40–$60 per hour, but Mary’s experience and diverse skillset push her rate up to $75.
