No.

As she is 24 and only a part-time student, and works full time with a gross income of more than $5,200, you cannot claim her as a dependent.

If she earned more than $5200 in 2025 she cannot be claimed as anyone else's dependent. She is too old to be a qualifying child dependent and if she had more than $5200 of income --not counting any Social Security-- she cannot be a qualifying relative dependent.
