How do you list names and titles in a sentence?
When used in a sentence, professional titles should be uppercase before a person’s name and lowercase after. (When a title appears before a person’s name, it is seen as part of the name. When it appears after or on its own, it is seen as the name of the job and not the person, so it should not be capitalized.)
How do you use a person’s title in a sentence?
Names and Titles of Individuals
