Okay, let’s tackle this. So Sharon has skills in food safety, quality assurance, and food science. These are in-demand areas, but not typically high-paying. Location is Denton, Texas, which is not a major hub for food industry jobs. Salary benchmarks for food safety and quality assurance professionals in the US typically range from $40,000 to $70,000. Considering her education from Cornell University, maybe a bit higher. Let’s check averages. Food safety and quality assurance professionals with similar experience might average $60,000. So I’ll estimate around $75 per hour.
