No, she is a “doctor” of “public health”, whatever that is.
That goes double for all those ‘PhD. ABD people’ [ABD stands for ‘All but Dissertation’—which is the whole point of earning a PhD.]

“Rosario holds a Ph.D. in public health”
People with PhDs are titled Doctor.
That’s why you have Doctor Sheldon Cooper for example.
She got her Doctorate at Loma Linda university and the curriculum is
The DrPH degree programs offers training for careers in which advanced expertise in program planning, implementation, evaluation and policy analysis are required. Students’ doctoral project (Integrated learning experience) and applied practice experience are key components in the development of critical thinking and leadership skills.She worked hard for that and produced original research (a requirement to gain a Doctorate) -- and you think she's acting uppity?
...The overall DrPH curriculum is designed using a faith-based lens to accurately reflect the mission and vision of Loma Linda University and the School of Public Health. Additionally, nine units of courses offered by the LLU School of Religion are included in the curriculum to allow the students to enhance personal spiritual development as well as application of faith-based values to professional practice.
The admissions requirements for the doctoral degree programs described below are in addition to the University admissions requirements. The minimum eligibility requirements for admission to a doctoral degree program include the following:
- an MPH degree or master’s degree in a related field from a regionally accredited institution, with a G.P.A. of 3.5 or above. Applicants with a master’s degree in another field may indicate their relevant training, research experience, or educational background comparable to the MPH. DrPH applicants who are admitted without an MPH may be required to take additional course work at the graduate level to satisfy MPH core competencies.
- Religious affiliation is not a requirement; but students are expected to adhere to on-campus requirements of modest dress, abstinence from alcohol and smoking, and attendance at weekly chapel, as applicable.
Competencies:
- Analyze quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods and policy analysis research and evaluation methods to address health issues at multiple levels (individual, group, organization, community and population).
- Design a quantitative, qualitative, mixed methods, policy analysis or evaluation project to address a public health issue.
- Explain the use and limitations of surveillance systems and national surveys in assessing, monitoring and evaluating policies and programs and to address a population’s health.
All doctoral students are required to present their work (applied practice experience or integrated learning experience) at a scientific or professional conference either as a poster or as short oral presentation.
