No, you cannot claim her. If she was not a full-time student (and you say she was not) then if she had over $4300 of income you cannot claim her. She can file her own return that says she cannot be claimed as anyone else's dependent. That also means she can use the recovery rebate credit to get the stimulus money.
Since she was not a full-time student---she cannot be your qualifying child. She made too much to be a qualifying relative.
