She absolutely did not misrepresent herself.

She introduced her education level and then divulged her credentials.

She earned the right to be called Doctor by her dedication to her profession and her willingness to further her knowledge.

Dentists call themselves "Doctor" although many have neither been to medical school nor have they earned a Doctorate.
