experience has prepared me vs experience have prepared me

The correct phrase here is 'experience has prepared me.' In this case, 'experience' is a singular noun, so must be followed by the singular form of the verb 'has.' The word 'have' is the plural form of the verb, which doesn't agree with the singular noun 'experience.'
