Slowly get your hamster use to your smell. Put your hand in her cage with a treat and wait, just let her take it. Do that everyday. After 2 days try picking her up. Put her in your lap and let her explore for about 10 minutes. Then put her back in her cage. Do that everyday gradually lengthening the time she spends in your lap until she is comfortable with you. Then bring in another person and repeat.
