Where did you get your mouse from? If you got her from a pet store, chances are you'll have a harder time taming her than if you got her from a breeder. I also agree with /u/mewingoreos, she'll feel safer and more confident with a buddy or two.
When you are offering her food from your hand, how are you holding the food? Hands with grasping fingers can be threatening to mice, as they know you can grab them suddenly. Put your hand flat in the tank, palm up, with your fingers tightly together like this. Then hold your hand perfectly still for five or ten minutes and let her approach you. You can also try rubbing your hand in her bedding first to make your hand smell more like her.
Definitely find a treat she can't resist, preferably something she cannot just grab a large piece of and run away to eat. I've had good success with dipped millet from the bird section of pet shops, you can get fruit-dipped or honey-dipped (or even candy coated!). Millet is made up of tiny little seeds, so she has to keep coming back to you to get more delicious tiny seeds. Parakeet seed also works well, as does a large piece of fruit that's too big to drag away (such as an apple wedge or baby carrot) so she has to keep coming back to take nibbles.
Whenever you handle her, try to keep your fingers together as much as you can to avoid looking like a grabby hand. Use a fist and extend one finger to gently touch her side or back if she'll let you. Let her sniff your fist or climb on it if she's feeling brave. Etc etc. Try not to pick her up if she doesn't want to be as much as possible. With really stubborn mice, sometimes I've even sat with a hand in their cage while watching TV. They always come around eventually.
