[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Our family is beyond proud of her!

She is the first doctor in our family so I will brag  about it!

I did heed your advice and will NOT say she’s a scientist.

Social scientist maybe or educational researcher

Oh dear. Here we go again. She is also not a doctor
Please try not to appear so desperate [/quote]

She IS a doctor. Her title earned is Dr. /will sign her name :
Dr.  Jane Smith, PhD

[/quote]

Oh OP.  No she will not sign her name Dr. Jane Smith, PhD.  She should sign her name Jane Smith, PhD.  People may address her as Dr. Jane Smith.  But it's redundant to list both in the same title.

I feel bad for piling on OP.  I'm assuming you probably didn't go to college, and it's not your fault you aren't aware of the nuances of advanced education.[/quote]

Right, while there are circumstances where she might be addressed with the Dr. honorific s[b]he is not a doctor[/b][/quote]

Correct. This is why people cringe and call Jill Biden a rube when she insists on being calling a Dr..  https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-feb-02-na-dr-jill-biden2-story.html[/quote]
