could you use לגמור here for "finish" (i.e., היא גומרת את הדוקטורט שלה)?

You don't wanna say "היא גומרת". Believe me, you don't. :P But you are right.

Okay - there's clearly an implication to גומרת of which I'm not aware. Please let me know.

Thanks. I can see a non-native English speaker similarly misusing "she came."

Actually, in my opinion, this is one of the only contexts in which מסיימת is really preferable to גומרת. But it's just my opinion, many people use מסיימת for every sort of finishing situation. גומרת is a perfectly good word, I use it all the time, if it gives anyone irrelevant ideas it is their problem. :-|
