She obviously does not like hands in her cage so don't put your hand in.
Daily interaction may be too much for her. Back off and give her a break is what i would advise you to do but that is only my opinion. I've only had a hamster since March so i'm no expert.
Couldn't you just watch her for a few days? Then take her out in a mug or something to do some more bath tub bonding without too much handling or stroking. Let her run over you so she gets used to you and put your hands in your pockets until she starts to trust you.
It can take months for a hamster to trust a human.

Maybe you have a look but don't touch hamster in which case you would have to accept her for who she is.

My hamster is a bit like that and likes his own company best.
