Okay, let’s tackle this. So Michele has 34 years of experience in event management, which is a long time. However, her experience is mostly in event planning and hospitality, which are not as high-demand as some other skills. She also doesn’t have any specific certifications or advanced degrees in event management. Considering her location in Mt. Laurel, New Jersey, and her level of experience, I would estimate her hourly rate to be around $75. This is lower than what I would expect for someone with more experience in high-demand fields like tech or finance. However, event management is a niche field, and Michele’s extensive experience and diverse skillset make her a valuable asset to clients. I’ve seen event management professionals charge upwards of $100-$150 per hour, but Michele’s lower rate reflects her more generalist approach to event planning and her lack of specialized certifications.
